This song really does have political meaning. When he refers to "interrupting television fun," he talks about how the war (namely on Iraq) has flooded the media. He also talks about the feeble power of patriotism with the "colors in your hair," though i do not share the same beliefs. Also, the "lazy gun" refers to the easy way out of diplomacy, or as they put it, going to war.
