I always think the first few lines refer to communism, which is what the Manics believe (or believed) in. It could be about how they believe they are creating something great (I am an architect) but how most in the west revile it (they call me a butcher) and so forth. As for the rest of it, I've never been able to even hazard a guess what it could possibly be about!
