This song might be Morten's expression of anger concerning the bloodshed in Bosnia (after all, the original poem by Joseph Brodsky was "Bosnia Tune"). Also, I feel that his additions of the "La la la, la" in the chorus adds on to the general message of people expressing blind ignorance to the carnage in Bosnia (adding on to lyrics such as "People die as you elect/New apostles of neglect"), almost as if they're covering their ears and saying "La la la" to block out the news of the war and ignore it completely.
