Man I love this song. I can't believe nobody even put the lyrics up here. The meaning, I feel, is quite obvious. It's the view of war (more specifically in the Lebanon) from the view of two completely different people. The first is a woman, who sees the war as something ruining her life, which wasn't great to begin with, but better than during the war. The man is a soldier, who is there "fighting the war" for the wrong reasons. The lines "But now he finds he is at war, weren't we supposed to keep the peace?" really outlines this.
