Well, this was a very popular song among us volunteers when we were fighting in the Bosnian war (I had a CD Walkman and a TH CD, mp3 players not having been invented yet), it very much reflected what "life during wartime" is really like. But war can also be a metaphor for daily life, and the song could say that, too, with the line "We dress like students, we dress like housewives, or in a suit and a tie", so it could be about the struggle of normal existence.
