There is huge problem with lyrical continuity. Verses 1 & 2 are pure anti-war protest song (although I can't make out whether his best friend's death was associated with war). Verse 3 laments the struggles of a new musician and ends with an indictment against the government that references a traditional patriotic song (Like we used to know what 'just' war and government were.)
Read the lyrics first (below) and then give it a listen. The musical elements are outstanding.
