Almost all their early songs have a social message. Master of Puppets is about drugs, Blackened is about smoking and other air pollution or maybe nuclear war, many of the songs are about the pointlessness of war. It was really with the Black album that they kind of gave up that stuff and just stuck with trying to make hits.
