Metal fans have long debated society's hypocrisy and judgment of those who don't fit the mainstream mold. This song is a biting critique of stereotypes and prejudices against nonconformists, delivered through a series of rhetorical questions that challenge common accusations. The narrator defends himself against assumptions about his religious beliefs, work ethic, and character while pointing out the hollow nature of these judgments. The recurring theme "peace sells, but who's buying?" suggests that while everyone claims to want peace, few are actually willing to invest in it or make the changes necessary to achieve it. It's a powerful commentary on how society often preaches one thing but practices another, particularly when it comes to accepting those who think or live differently. The message remains strikingly relevant today, questioning whether true peace is possible in a world full of prejudice and judgment.
