A lot of people have mentioned this song's sonic connection to War. I personally love the connection between Sunday Bloody Sunday's "I can't believe the news today," and Red Flag Day's "Not even news today," lines. Sunday's younger, more innocent man is shocked and horrified by what is going on in the world. He is angry to the point that he wants to shout it out to the world to stir a peaceful revolution. On the other hand, the older, more experienced man is also shocked and horrified, but for a different reason. It is because the Syrian civil war's atrocities, which are far worse than the events of Bloody Sunday, continue on without the same public outrage. People are risking their lives and dying in the sea and elsewhere every day trying to escape to a normal life and the outside world does not even seem to care.
