That's an interesting idea. I kind of hit a wall with the typewriter imagery, but I interpreted this song as contrasting the make-believe battles we have for fun as kids, making trenches out of furniture and using cutlery as firearms to actual wars. I see this song as comparing the two and showing us that war is just as silly and absurd.
