Yeah I agree that it's definitely about war...

'These things return to me that still seem real Now, deservingly, this easy chair But the rocking stopped by wheels of despair'

Maybe talking about flashbacks but now he's safe..

'Don't want your aid But the fist I make For years can't hold or feel'

He doesn't want anyone's help..

But now the dreams and waking screams That ever last the night

Again,flashbacks..

'So can you hear your babies crying now?'

In agreence that this could be vietnam reference as when the war was on Johnson was preoccupied with it and ignored problems at home in America...
