I know the song is not supposed to be taken particularly seriously, but I do prefer my songs to make sense, especially when they involve murder and mayhem. Even moreso when they involve the gratuitous murder of women. Also, I find the relationship between historical myth and historical reality interesting. So: "why not enjoy it instead of moralizing about it?" - what if I happen to enjoy moralizing about it? Not to mention that I've probably wasted too much of my life enjoying it anyway .......
