"Race for the Prize" by Te Flaming Lips.

I believe the theme of this song is war and how soldiers are fighting for their country and the fate of their people  and their futures. This can be supported by the lyrics where it says " They;re just humans with wives and children" Just how soldiers are everyday people with families and it says- "theirs is ti win if it kills them" and then, "it will kill them". This talks about how soldiers fight to win even if they die and they eventually will die for their cause in some way or another., and finally "forging for the future but to sacrifice their lives" supports how soldiers fightingin a war and winning or losing decides the future for their country.
