Maybe I'm missing something but this song (which I have heard performed numerous times) has always infuriated me. Why is it anything but the most profound hypocrisy to share music, food and companionship with a human being on one evening and then seek every chance to put a bullet through his head the next morning? It reminds me of Charles Dickens' depiction in "A Christmas Carol" of the good men of the town who collect for the poor "only one day of the year, Mr. Scrooge" and then treat them as pets or meat the other 364 days.
