It is a jokingly submariners’ Cold War song. Supposed to be sang with a guitar over a bottle of beer for a laugh. A sort of their version of ‘On a wing and a prayer’. One has to be a total idiot to take lyrics serious. It is deeply ironic.
You know that.
To assume most or even few do is a HUGE leap :)
And lyrics are written most of the time to be taken seriously.
I wrote songs.
I didn’t write the words to be taken as a joke :)
I meant what I wrote and believed in what i wrote a lot.
