Okay, these have popped up through the thread, but here's a recap:
The lyrics contain "Jeux Sans Frontiers", "Games Without Frontiers", and "It's a Knockout"
"Jeux Sans Frontiers" is French for "Games Without Frontiers"
"Jeux Sans Frontiers" was also the name of a ridiculous TV game show in which teams of regular everyday people would have to complete physical tasks with novelty props and the danger of falling in tanks of water, etc.
The British version of that show was called "It's a Knockout".
PG draws a clear parallel between three lines of thought
a ridiculous, pointless game show in which people perform physical challenges to score points and beat each other
Childhood games, including how kids will pick on exclude each other, making rules to say who can come in their fort, and so on
The international arena of politics and warfare
Essentially, the main message is that politics and war are stupid, childish pastimes, and our world leaders should just grow up. It is peppered with references to past public figures, such as Hitler.
My research suggests Enrico is Enrico Fermi, a key player in The Manhattan Project...?
