Interpretation of a lyric will differ from one person to another Ian Gillan would (probably) have wrote the lyric for this song and i dare say he would say it means this or that another person listening it would read something else into the lyric as it mentions death a lot but the last verse gives hope with the line
"Please lead the way so the unborn can play on some greener hill"
so maybe it's Ian Gillan looking at a world of fools who are ruining it for those who have to follow.

The Band 'Deep Purple'. And, Buckcherry does the 2009 cover. :) Blackfoot is the band that performs Highway Song, not Deep Purple unless they did a cover version at some point
The band gets it's name from a favourite song of guitarist, Ritchie Blackmore's Mum.. Up until adopting Deep Purple, the band WA sknown as "Roundabout". The song was covered with some success by Donnie and Marie Osmond (!) in the 1970's..
"Highway Star" is one of British rock group Deep Purple's most famous songs. The song is the opening track on the 1972 album Machine Head and is the fastest temp song on the album.
The song name is "Child In Time" by Deep Purple. The song is like 10 minutes long, but if you wanna hear just that part, then get the song and fast forward it to like 3:20-3:30 on the track and you will hear the part that was played in Twister.
Prince wrote and performed the song.
