this song is comparing the people in the war being badly affected and even dying while in a completely different world, eg america, people have such easy lives compared to the people dying in the war but still complain. eg like a typical american girl- her looks are so important that she needs lipgloss, not to mention she has "glossy magazines" and a boyfriend and everything. and then boohoo she breaks up with her boyfriend and is really upset about it... ok, but in contrast, "momma's packing up on thursday cause bombs were dropping down all afternoon".
we can get out of this song that we shouldn't complain so much about life because while some of us get depressed over little things like a broken relationship (ok, at times these situations aren't little but compared to people dying in wars, it's not as drastic) when people in another world- 3rd world, are dying cause of bomb threats
the people who have more are too selfish and don't realise it. if only if we helped the people who actually have something worthy of complaint
