I have to disagree with you. This song is clearly about a lot more than just 'life.' A lot of it is about war and the media's coverage of it:
"Do you know we are being led to
Slaughters by placid admirals,
And that fat slow generals are getting
Obscene on young blood?
Do you know we are ruled by TV?"
Also, the parts that are about life aren't that simple. I think he's saying that people who are alive are not really LIVING. Jim really believed that a lot of us just go through the motions in life, and never really experience it. We are 'asleep' he would say. He even took to yelling "Wake up!" into the audience at various points throughout the doors concerts.
