It is about war in general and the futility of war, about usless cowardess politicians who do nothing but cause war and send the inocent to die. The song conjures up images of the 1st and 2nd world wars, the death camps and bloodshed, of Hitler and his minions who will be called to answer for their sins! (Please note). Voting fixes nothing, it only adds to the problems caused by the political machine! Monolith!
