He will have the opportunity to learn new skills and a shot to go to college. He will be build up with his countries pride. He will get a chance to do something useful with his life. He will get the proper training that will turn him into a man. If a poor fella wants to make something of himself all he needs to do is enlist. The second verse goes into how the politicians that start the wars just pin it down on the poor masses and there are different incentives which the lure the public into accepting these types of risks.
There shouldn't be any reason great enough to appeal to something that is in turn a simple definition of evil. The song tries to convey that everything that leads to a war starts at the root of evil. Most wars are constructed by many different factions and stem from different events which fall on the economy, cultural differences, humanitarian issues, as well as many others. The plotting of their destruction turns into bodies burning and continues to fuel the "war machine." These wars bring nothing but pain and agony and it they are brought about through deceit and lies. It borrows from the original lyrics, "Just like witches at black masses." Since the witches represent an evil, Satanic ritual, these founders of war are similarly doing something Satanic. The first verse in the song compare politicians and generals that make up and lead wars as the real culprits behind all the evil doing that stems from war. It was simply an anti-war song and has been recounted with every war to come since the American troops invaded Indochina. While many people seem to think that this is a anti-Vietnam song as it was released around that same time frame, Black Sabbath is from Great Britain and it wasn't as pronounced of an event in their early days, which is confirmed by the members. So despite the original meaning which is simply an interpretation of what the ritual looks like, I will stick to the updated interpretation of the song titled War Pigs. After it was thought to be too Satanic in nature the band adjusted it. If you haven't heard the original version it was title Walpurgis which is a Satanic ritual/celebration. General CommentThe song was actually changed after its initial release.
