I think this is one of their more transparent songs, but "Bush and Blair" is oversimplifying a bit. The first part of the song is about governments that play on people's fears and their religious beliefs to justify invasion of our privacy and to control us. The second part of the song refers to Muslims and Christians who see themselves as the arbiters of justice. He mocks those who see his freedom of speech as a threat. We all die alone, without religion or country.
