Josh Ritter – Girl In The War Lyrics 18 years ago
great song!

first off i think every lyric has a different meaning to each individual that being said here is how i interpet this song

obviously it is protesting the war and telling you to get active ("if they cant find a way to help they can go to hell")

"Paul said to Petey
"You gotta rock yourself a little harder;
Pretend the dove from above is a dragon and your feet are on fire""

i see it as paul talking to peter as in the bible,
i think its saying get active about your faith in christ and start doing what you were meant to do instead of screwing around

thats my 2 cents

great song though
