It's a war song describing the story of a guy name Johnny that went off to war but when he came back he wasn't the man he used to be, including missing limbs. It constatly describes that he is disfigured with the lyrics: "You hadn't an arm You hadn't a leg" and "Where are the legs with which you run". Similar to the plot of Metallica's "One" if you think about it. By the way I think the lyrics for the chorus is: "THEY had guns and drums and drums and guns." Though I could be mistaken. Thats what I keep hearing. Maybe he alternates between the two
