The song is about how most people equate success to meeting financial/status goals instead of mastering your mental and spiritual self.
It eludes that confining your definition of success, to the things you have to do to be financially successful, will ultimately deprive you of your freedom rather than grant you more of it.
The motif of "American Dream" is an oxymoron because it's meaning has become the exact opposite of what the origional values of the founders of our country. Love, family, tolerance, respect have been lost to the almighty dollar.
The lyrics are pretty straightforward. I don't understand how one can infer this has such a narrow scope as to talk about Bush or the war in Iraq. It's about a much grander concept.
