The thing about this song is while it does specifically refers to and trashes the conflict between America and the Soviet Union, it is still a message that can be applied to any ideological conflict where the conflict is about who is better and why they should conform to their expectations and demands. That is what hurts people the most, is expectations and demands of conformity. That is the most harmful thing of all, because it's okay to hurt people to force them to conform when you don't do anything wrong and you're better than everybody else.
