I think it portrays the human instinct of fighting and dying and pouring your whole life into something just so someone else can do the same to oppose it. (Once you're dead or too worn out to care of course.)
It asks the question of whether or not we can actually accomplish anything... the song suggests not but believing that we can (if only for a day, a drunken night) kind of keeps us hopeful and human, maybe even young.
This song is pretty desperate.
