Lyric discussion by Thesmellyone 

I think its basically asking "In a time of such technology, where we can perform such medical feats as those listed, why is there still war, poverty and famine?" And "Why are we using this technology to make the rich richer and fight our wars?"

@Thesmellyone Short and sweet - good interpretation. I just added my interpretation - see theofromcanada. Outstanding song, eh !!!
