^ Yes, I guess so, or maybe he thought he could contrast the innocent lyrics with the worldly grunge sound, to get some ironical effect.

Anyway, here`s another English version of a JB song, this time with simple, but interesting lyrics. Perhaps you know it already:

Some wrote the poems,
Some went to war.
Some never came home."
