Cover art for Gunships lyrics by Bedouin Soundclash

I love this song! It sounds vaguely familiar though. I think it could be about how nationalism can often be a nation's downfall, 'The colours we have worn only left our nation torn'

I get the feeling that they're asking why a nation would have extreme pride if inside there was civil war and rebels everywhere. How can you say a country is great when people are dying? Over something as simple as a lover's dispute, sort of thing. I dunno, just guessing here.
