Far be it for me to question Songmeaningsuser and Brett himself, but there's clearly a lot more to it than that. If anything, it's an answer to the ignorant tabloid-stirred public attitude to refugees, saying that in a sense we are all refugees. But like in other songs on this album, there's a general feeling of being rootless in his 'own country'. The Bonnie and Clyde reference is particularly important, showing that he sees him and his companion as being outlaws.
