Well, I'm not sure what it means but I just wanna say "Who's got what God is on" is pretty much one of the coolest one-liners in rock that I've heard. I think the song is partly about people who are kind of self-centered and just do whatever they feel like all the time. The lines, "do like we all do/see what you want to/lay your head down/sweet smile," "nail the door shut," and "do like we all do/say what you want to/move your mouth/speak soft lies" makes it sound like everyone is living in their pleasant little fantasy world where ignorance is bliss. That also fits in with "Who's got what God is on?" The answer is everyone because we are all high on arrogance and think we can do whatever we want and nothing can touch us. The part at the end that says, "We fall all the way, all the way..." could mean that eventually our blindness and carelessness is going to catch up with us and we will have some kind of rude awakening. It's like in Buddhism they say people in the God realms are subject to "change and falling." Life is great now but it can't last forever and pretty soon your karma is gonna catch up to you. Something like that.
