This politics aside is a song from a soldier in iraqs point of view
"I need a gun to keep myself from harm"
Hes in iraq, in a violent place he needs a gun.
"Poor people burning"
The iraqis who have been bombed and abused constantly.
"I'm a peace-loving decoy
Ready for retaliation
"
Hes a peace-loving person but hes ready to fight for his country, a soldier
"I change the whole location
to a pine box six-under
Impulsive-don't ask why or wonder
Orders given unto me is:
strike and I'm thunder
"
He has to kill people as part of his job, he changes there location, and hes ordered to and he goes with it.
"I'm the reason you can fill up your Isuzu. "
An isuzu is a big old 4x4 i believe, hes out there fighting so that people can fill up there massive 4x4s to clog up the worlds atmospheres
"Your water's from a bottle
mine's from a canteen
"
Again reference to his fighting for people back homes rights to safety and water and fuel for therecars.
"I got a 90 days extension
And I'm filled with guilt
From things that I've seen
"
Hes going to have to stay in iraq even more and hes suffering from all the things hes seen and had to do
"At night I hear the shots
Ring so I'm a light sleeper
The cost of life,
it seems to get cheaper
out in the desert
with my street sweeper
The war is over
So said the speaker
with his flight suit on
Maybe to him I'm just a pawn
So he can advance "
He hears shots at night, and life gets cheaper in the desert refers to the bloodshed in iraq and how life seems to be worth nothing, street sweeper refers to his gun and the flight suit part as already mentioned is George bush saying it was all over and it was perfectly safe and how he feels like a pawn in a politicans game
