Lead singer Boy George later stated on BBC3 that "most people are very ignorant politically and we're all told how glamorous war is."[3] The band mostly played the song live during the 1980s. The group played the song at a gig on New Year's Eve 2011. They also performed the song in 2014.

Cash Box said that "this strong anti-war statement is delivered with simple but effective words and a varied melody." Billboard called it "an effervescent protest song, hard to disagree with."

The music video was directed by Russell Mulcahy. Lead singer Boy George is shown with flame-red hair, a provocative new look at the time, as well as black, white, yellow and blue wigs. The ending of the video features hundreds of children dressed as skeletons, frolicking around Shad Thames, London. The video cost more than £100,000 to make.[citation needed] When Pete Burns of English band Dead or Alive saw the video, he sent Boy George a wreath.
