i think this song is about a kidnapping. when it says the took his ears the took his eyes it is the kidnappers blindfolding him and covering his ears so he doesn't know where they are going. the free ride is refering to the kidnapping and and it can't be free becasue there will be some ransom or in this case they are going to take his life. i believe the man they are taking is someone with power that is stoping the group from doing something so they have to kill him to do what the want. which is said "Well there are things That have to die So other things Can stay alive". he is the thing that must die and the action they want to do is the thing that must stay alive. maybe it is a person that this man may be killing if he is not kidnapped and stopped. when they have the man of power the main kidnapper(maybe the man whos life is on the line) wants to kill him but the other men take a vote and decide not to kill him. the part that says "If the fire doesn’t die I said be CAREFUL Of what you wish for Oh be CAREFUL..." is them having secound thoughts. the kidnapped man is the fire. now that they have him they have to kill him they can't just let him go but they don't want to kill him. thats what they should of been careful of wishing for( the kidnap and death of this man). the kids fit in because his kids were taken too although they didn't take their eyes because they were to young to do anything about the situation anyway. at the end where there is a birght light that hurts the kids eyes it is his father dying and them haveing to see it. lastly the thats how it goes baby part is the kidnappers being like o well thats how it goes we killed him.
