i think this song is about the entire history of power and politics: the red white and blue ALWAYS led you, or at least politics since UK has been a world power. then the song talks about how generations of people have become swept up in this system and know nothing different, "steal it all from you" refers to stealing a person's identity and freedom of mind. the last two lines sum up the message and resolution to do something and not be swallowed up in a greedy, power-hungry world.
