This is an anti-war song that plays on the sad irony of it all:
Billy went away with a peace-keeping force
Cause he liked a bloody good fight of course
And the very blunt and nonchalant way he sings about the harsh facts of war shows how we've all come to take for granted what it really means to go to war, as if it's just some jolly ride on a merry-go-round like when you play a war-themed video game with your pals and go out for beer and pizza afterwards.
