The song is simply about the American Dream and how corrupt it is. The pieces about forcing consumption are talking about how we continually take things, and we never hear that it is enough. We are a greedy society. This certainly isn't anti-Bush or anti-government, abr doesn't dabble in politics, it is about the corrupt morals of our society and thinking that we should always have more. Kids being spoiled rotten, believing this is destiny, it is a critique of our way of life. Also, the breathing underwater is in reference to this not being our true nature, rather a learned one.
