And I thought about the Buddhist King
He said, "You can keep your superpower
It just short circuits my country"
I think Dar might be singing about Tibet and how the non-violence practiced there is an example of selfless love. They are not actively fighting China (who wants to be a superpower) even though they are suffering for it. They wish it were not that way, but they won't selfishly put their own needs/lives above those of the Chinese. That sounds like love to me, and it seems to fit with the lyrics!
