This song is about opposition to war. Speaking out against war and violence shouldn't be considered treason against your country, but love for the value of life. The opening verse that is repeated throughout is someone trying to talk to the government to stop the war. The "rather make our children martyrs than murderers" is trying to say that dying for a purpose is always better than killing innocent people. And the "white flag warrior" lyric promotes the thought that people should always turn to peaceful resolution to a problem rather than killing each other.
