Fury In The Slaughterhouse Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

2 P.M. and school is out but the boy doesn't want to go home they are three and ooops says the boy
As his head is hit by the stone shout out in vain while teachers remain in silence cause they're helpless and guns brought to schools where studidity's cool so i don't want my son to go to war
She says no when the boys say lets go she's 14 and all dressed up in white one slap in the face and ooops says the boy her screams die away in the night can tv replace a mother's love and embrace, brothers i think it's time to go down to the ground sisters cut off these wounded blisters before we get to know war
Warchild getting along
Longing to get away
Warchild
Getting along
Longing to get away
From the war
You think you know who"s responsible for
This developement believe me i can show you some more side by side standing in the first row




Pointing with fingers at each other
Letting the guilty ones go

Overall Meaning

The second verse talks about a 14-year-old girl, who is dressed up in white, and how her dreams are crushed by a slap in the face. It poses a question about whether television can ever replace a mother's love and support. The chorus talks about how the warchild is trying to escape the war, and he is getting along, longing to get away from it. The final verse takes a seething tone as it points fingers at everyone for being responsible for the development of war, standing in the first row and pointing fingers at each other while letting the guilty ones go.
