This song is obviously mocking the United States and our dependence on oil.
"We make it simple, we make it clear"
We want our oil damn it.
"In the same planet, is too near"
Possibly suggesting drilling for oil on earth is no longer a good idea, maybe look for some on other planets?
"Hard or easy, choose my dear
We will stick it, In the rear"
That just sounds like sex, not sure if it's relevant.
"Under one God, united me stand
But what is this thing, in my hand?"
Motto of the US, not sure about the hand part. Possibly a gun? Blood for oil?
"So use Hawaii, nice and plastic"
Apparently Hawaii has oil, so lets drill there.
"The force is with us"
Star Wars reference? Maybe relating to the US's pop culture.
"[...] are black, and so is oil, we really need it,
so fuck your soil"
I think it might be "some movies are black" but I'm not sure. I don't think it's relevant to the meaning anyway. Here, I'm certain they are talking about the Alaska Wildlife Refuge, and the controversy surrounding it. Should we drill there for oil or not? Well, we really need it, so fuck the wildlife/soil.
The other parts of the song(about the underwear and such) may just be relating to the sex part, but as of now I don't know what they mean.
I believe you're baing a bit narrow-minded. USA is a part of it, yes, but the rest of the world is not that better. Like a lot of other Lodger songs, this one's in generic, not something specific. After all, look around you: they are in clean trousers, but they have dirty underwear inside it. No matter the country.
