My favourite lines in the song are "Baby, can you hear it? Don't it make you want to lay down and close your eyes" and "Don't it make you want to wake up and open your eyes."
I think it's a very strong political message about how some of the ugliness that exists in the world, such as war, can make people want to just "close their eyes" and forget that it's all happening, and at the same time "wake up" and acknowledge it, and speak out against it.
