Been thinking a lot about this song today:

"The 'righteous' rise
With burning eyes
Of hatred and ill will
Madmen fed on fear and lies,
To beat and burn and kill."

Much of it is directed against the Moral Majority and their ilk. It's one of the very few times Neil's voice was recorded, he was one of the shouting mob. It and Part 4 (Freeze) are two of my favorites in a long list. I saw them perform Witch Hunt several times, just in the 2000's, lol.I couldn't say how many times total. But never again live, and now I'm sad again.
