This song is obviously about our dependency of oil and automobiles.
"Yes the car is our wheelchair"
That one is pretty straightfoward.
"We found your weakness/And its right outside your door "
That one means the same thing.
"With precision you feed me/My witness Im hungry "
"With precision you feed me", in my opinion is talking about filling up at the gas station. The whole witness thing is a little hard to understand. The way I see it is he is using "Witness" in the way that religious groups use it. If you think about it our obsession with the automobile is almost a religon in itself. This also relates to "testify," a word religious groups use when they profess their beliefs.
All of the references to war and "Bagdad Burning" are talking about American imperialism in the Middle East where we invade to secure our oil interests.
"Mass graves for the pump and the price is set, and the price is set "
That also relates to our Mid-East oil interests too. Mass Graves for the pump means that people are being killed so you can inexpensively fill up your gas tank.
