Chumbawamba – Hanging On The Old Barbed Wire

Explanation

If you want to find the private
I know where he is
I know where he is
I know where he is
If you want to find the private
I know where he is
He's hanging on the old barbed wire
I saw him, I saw him
Hanging on the old barbed wire
Hanging on the old barbed wire

And finally, the private is dead and hanging on the barbed wire - the only one who is doing any fighting against the enemy.

If you want to find the seargent
I know where he is
I know where he is
I know where he is
If you want to find the seargent
I know where he is
He's drinking all the company rum
I saw him, I saw him
Drinking all the company rum
Drinking all the company rum

The sergeant is getting drunk, and drinking all the alcohol that is to be shared, again the private has seen him.

Explanation

If you want to find the colonel
I know where he is
I know where he is
I know where he is
If you want to find the colonel
I know where he is
He's sitting in comfort stuffing his bloody gut
I saw him, I saw him
Sitting in comfort stuffing his bloody gut

The colonel is eating and stuffing his face, in the comfort of some place in the trenches - instead of fighting and helping his men.

If you want to find the general
I know where he is
I know where he is

He's pinning another medal on his chest
I saw him, I saw him
Pinning another medal on his chest
Pinning another medal on his chest

A song from the First World War, sung by the soldiers to make fun of their superiors - here the general is getting another medal.

White unborns worth ten black workers blood spilt

White lives are considered to be worth more - 10 black lives. The hypocrisy of this is so clever - just a few words with so much meaning.

Explanation

Don't do what you can just say that you would
As long as it, makes you feel so good

Don't do what your religion suggests, just do what you want, as long as it makes you feel better about yourself - even if it is not against your beliefs.

Meaning

As far as I know this is about someone who helped the singer through his hard times (alcohlism), so a sort of thank you to a friend. In several songs he sings about his problems with drink - e.g. Old Red Eyes. "But you're the reason I'm still here" - a sort of thanks to his friend.
