Cover art for John and Jimmy lyrics by Modern Life Is War

I believe this song is how although Jhon & Jimmy are the pride of the town

(Neighbor boy, fathers pride & newspaper)

the narrator is questioning the war but doesn't want to offend them(i bite my tongue).

Also seems to me like he feels somewhat below John & jimmy

"while i was back home safe and clean. john and jimmy...say a prayer for us...the passive sinners."

but realizes that they are both working towards a goal

'cause we all do what we gotta do, boys we're all doign whatever we can.))
