Soldiers Make Good Targets
War's Hungry Game: A Reflection on Modern Living
Lyrics
What kind of place are we living now?
Questioning the nature of the current world or society.
Watching wars live via satellite
Observing wars as they unfold through live satellite broadcasts.
You carry a gun but no smoking inside
Highlighting a paradox where carrying a gun is allowed, but smoking is not.
Escape disease yet I could get shot tonight
Expressing the irony of avoiding diseases but facing the risk of getting shot.
You shoot, you lose
Stating a consequence of engaging in conflict - losing when you shoot.
The time has come and you're all alone
Describing a moment of isolation and solitude.
And you know you're not dreaming
Acknowledging a sense of reality, not a dream.
It's heaven's door, you're ringing on the bell
Symbolizing a moment of decision or judgment, akin to approaching heaven's door.
Will they let you in, or you going to hell?
Pondering the uncertainty of being accepted into heaven or condemned to hell.
I'll take a war, I'll take mine with fries
Using war metaphorically, possibly as a metaphor for life challenges.
Medium rare, wash a coke down with ice
Humorous juxtaposition of ordering war with fast food items.
Swallow it down, no time to digest
Emphasizing a fast-paced, hectic lifestyle without time to reflect.
What do you know, I'm feeling hungry again
Expressing an unexpected return of appetite despite life's challenges.
You shoot, you lose
Reiterating the consequence of losing when engaging in conflict.
The time has come and you're all alone
Repeating the theme of isolation and solitude.
And you know you're not dreaming
Reaffirming the sense of reality rather than a dream.
You're in heaven's door, you're ringing on the bell
Continuing the metaphor of approaching heaven's door as a critical moment.
Will they let you in, or you going to hell?
Raising the question of acceptance or rejection in the afterlife.
The time has come and you're all alone
Repeating the idea of isolation and solitude.
And you know you're not dreaming
Reiterating the acknowledgment of reality over a dream.
It's heaven's door, you're ringing on the bell
Continuing the metaphorical journey towards heaven's door.
Will they let you in, or you going to hell?
Repeating the uncertainty of acceptance or condemnation.
Show me, show me, show me
An urging or plea to reveal something.
Show me, show me, show me
Repeating the plea or desire for revelation.
You shoot, you lose
Reiterating the consequence of losing when engaging in conflict.
You shoot, you lose
Emphasizing again the outcome of failure in conflict.
