This song is probably an anti-war message to remove the hostility between the soviets and the americans, as exhibited by," Haven't they heard we won the war What do they keep on fighting for?" for the russians and then he repeats this line for the Americans when he says,"And I watched my friends go off to war What do they keep on fighting for?" The lyrics then state, "We never knew what friends we had Until we came to Leningrad." This line encompasses the main idea of the song that both sides of the war have been taught that the other side is evil, because of propaganda; but to the contrary, they share the same struggles and found this out when they finally met each other.
If I knew something you didn't than you had better not come 'round these parts within the next few mintues 'cause I'm goin' to strip down and run naked screaming around the yard as I make Woot Woot noises! Yes, Baby!!!

It was actually released on 30th October 1989. And the Berlin Wall fell ten days later, on 9th November. If I didn't know better, I'd say this song is what caused it.
