The page I linked to above is the REAL meaning about the song. It isn't about Jesus, and it isn't about Vietnam, at least, not directly. It is a fierce statement of disestablishmentarianism, of a conspiracy to bring down a powerful heirarchy.

By the way, njrockstarbandit, don't be ignorant. The Vietnam War was NOT one of the worst of the century. WW1 was, followed by WW2 and various slaughters in Cambodia and Tibet.

Anyway, this is a brilliant cover, and personally I believe it is the best rock song ever, beating even "Kashmir" by Led Zeppelin.
