  • Mike from Tx, TxNot just the war. It's about the UN being a complete joke in every way and how completely useless they are in general, as well as being corrupt. Mustaine has long been a political prophet and genius with his lyrics. Unlike repeating the news as most celebs and musicians, he actually pays attention to the real world. Indeed, listen to Holy Wars. Look at the lyrics. Look at when it was written. Then look at the world. It wasn't a passing topic, etc. It's a completely relevant song all these years later. The man has a real knack for what he does.
  • David from Port Hawkesbury, CanadaListen to Holy Wars Matt. Christ can't bring this world to peace anymore then he already has.
  • Matthew from Milford, MaXD, that is so true... only Christ can bring peace to the world. Does anyone know where I can find this song?
