Too Young to Die (Jamiroquai)

Olá, gostaria de pedir ajuda para compreender essa música do Jamiroquai chamada "Too Young to Die" (genial, por sinal).

Chega na seguinte parte e não entendo direito:

"[...]All gone when they drop the bomb.
Can the politicians reassure?
'Cos here I am presuming that
Nobody wants a war
There's so many people praying
Just to find out if they're staying.
But lately stately governments
And disillusioned leaders,
So full of empty promises
But rarely do they feed us.
Put our backs against the wall,
Or don't we count at all?"

Grata!
