This song is a play on words juxtaposing rapeseed fields with the field of battle.
It mixes imagery about how the father of a family goes away to war and wreaks havoc while the family stays at home and washes their hands of it.
The part about Mulberry bushes is very similar to a similar line in The Wasteland, by TS Eliot.
