# I don't think it's based on the book

I always thought it was about kids growing up to fight in war

# i think it's loosley based on it
hetfield said his mother used to read the book to him before he went to bed and it used to spark his imagination

EDIT: i think it's about a toy war

"You swing your rattle down
(Hand puppets storm the base
Flags up now cannons rage
Hand puppets storm the base)
Call to arms the trumpets sound
(Flags up now cannons rage
All clowns head for the rear
Slingshots fire to the air
All clowns head for the rear)
Toy horses start the charge
(Slingshots fire to the air
Slip into the edge of death
Crossfire to the marionettes)
Robot chessmen standing guard
(Slip into the edge of death
Crossfire to the marionettes)
(all together)
We shall never surrender"
