I was in a restaurant and noticed that the walls were lined with TV sets all tuned to different stations. On top of that, piped music was blaring. One-on-one conversation seemed to be absent. I found it rather humorous and sad at the same time, and scribbled down "Road To Ruin". Being a bit of a weighty, ominous refrain, I thought that it needed a more serious topic. Armed conflict in the name of religion fit the bill, I thought. Before I knew it, I was singing of burning flags and body bags.
