Yeah, this is one of my favorite flips songs, probably #2 or #3. I pretty much agree with person10101, however I think that the song is too sad to say that the good people have much chance of winning the war.
It makes me think of pacifism, like all the good people realize that it is evil to hurt anyone - even the evil people, because there is no real good and no real evil, only people who are misguided and bad situations (like natural disasters and disease) - and so all the good people can do is try to band together and convince the bad people in the world to see reason, and to try and conquer the bad situations. But that's the thing about pacifism, it rarely works as the only way of going about things because the misguided people number in the millions, they won't see reason, will kill the good people, and prevent them from conquering the bad situations.
So the good people are sad because they know they will be overcome by the evils of the world, and the only comfort they have is in knowing they did their best and that there is a little good in this world, because they are it. This allows them to have smiles stretched so wide they can't even take a breath, they are the only ones who know true happiness because they are the only ones who understand true sadness.
