Peace Sells... but Who's Buying?

"Peace Sells... but Who's Buying?" is a song by Metallica that critiques the contradictions and irony of promoting peace while benefiting from conflict and chaos. It questions the genuine desire for peace in a world often driven by greed, power, and war, suggesting that those who claim to want peace may not truly seek it, as their actions and interests are aligned with continued conflict. The song encourages listeners to critically examine societal priorities and the true motivations behind political and economic actions related to peace and war.
