I remember being told about 2 years ago (in this forum) that Drink Yer Glasses Empty was written during the Gulf War.

Can anyone shed any more light on this song? In particular, what is the meaning and significance of the line "there's one less cause in the world to be leavin' for"?

I'd like to hear peoples' speculations as well as information that is actually known about the lyrics.

Thanks
