Maybe, just MAYBE, the song has multiple meanings. Because, as was said a little earlier, Tom is an incredible lyricist - which means that he intended the song to be interpreted on different levels.
I'm sure the song could be about Catch-22. However, it is short-sighted and downright foolish to disallow any other interpretation.
Oh, and I always thought the line was "Independent we stand/And dependant we fall," but that's probably just a mondegreen of mine.
