I think that it can be directly related to Catch-22, the entire song I mean. I think that instead of this being Snowden's words, it's Yossarian's. The "Man, can you help me out? Can you bring me back to life...ect" is Yossarian's first moment of panic, where he realizes he just wants to live, and not die like Snowden. Oh, and about the warning, I think that Snowden's death IS the warning. Also, "if this should be our last summer, then why should we care?" is Yossarian's thinking towards the war. Saying why should he care about the war? and why should he die for it? It's all relevant to Snowden's death in the novel, which was such an important thing. I really think that this entire song can be directly linked to Catch-22, but only the writer knows! :D
