1. I think that this song is about trying to defy authority. They allude to different types of authority, like the Nazis, in this song. At one point it says, "Taking off his turban, they said, is this man a Jew?" This strongly implies that the song is talking about the Nazis. Later, they also mention training blue-eyed boys, which is what the Nazis believed everyone should look like.
2. I think that this song is suppose to sound ironic, because the tempo is upbeat and it is in a major key, which creates a light and cheerful tone, which greatly contrast to the quite grim topic.
3. This song is propaganda because it puts the authority in a negative light, making you not want to trust it or be a part of it.
