I think this is a commentary about the general paradigm shift in human beliefs. People no longer take the bible seriously. Phil is a Christian so this would make sense. "I'd write my name so the king could see", I think means he has his name written in the book of life. "I will follow the true declaration", This would seem to be the bible. I think the bulk of the song is about disregarding "truths" of a secular humanistic world. "Do not obey", "They shape the lie in schools and TV" and "What we read and see drawn before us is a lie". Strongly seem to point to the general acceptance of atheism (or at best agnosticism) and evolution.
i like the interpretation of it...but i watched an interveiw with phil and he said that he writes lyrics for the listeners can apply it to themselve and make up what they want the song to be about or somethiing like that,you would have to watch it...but so far i like yours the best lol
