Just listen to the lyrics.
Anyone who thinks this songs is racist can only be seen as simple, ignorant and somewhat hateful.
It's a song exploring why normal people do stupid things for example joining the National Front.
"The winds blow ...
All of my dreams away"
This lyric is one of three that sums up the meaning of this song. We all feel that our dreams have 'Blown Away' and some people cling to the first thing the see that will possibly make it all better. In Davids case, The National Front.
"We wonder if the thunder
Is ever really gonna begin"
And this is the point in the song when you realise that 'David' isn't racist or even particularly right wing. He knows that racism doesn't help but he feels dejected and empty that the world in general is of no use and there is no way for him to actually make it better.
"..but one day you would like to
And if you show them what you're made of"
This is summing up the fact that we all want to make a mark and do something with ourselves but there appears to be no way to.

Just think about it.
