The song is simply saying that 'Nothing makes sense', you can perform an act or kindness and get a reward, or you can perform an act of duty, maybe as a soldier and yet be punished for it.
You can have more then enough to eat while watching others starve to death.
Life is full of contradictions and unfairness. We give ourselves the right to be wrong. We justify fulfilling our pleasures regardless of the consequences.
Some of the best lyrics ever written in my opinion are:
When I'm drinking my Bonaparte Shandy
Eating more than enough apple pies
Will I glance at my screen and see real human beings starve to death
Right in front of my eyes
