I think this song is slightly sarcastic, and I believe it is about Americans thinking we are the best in the world...but I also think it can blow up into a bigger picture saying that the whole human race is the enemy of the earth.
"I know it's really hard to see
That we are the enemy"
That part seems sarcastic because the human race is so egotistical and it's hard for us to see how anything could be our enemies.
The "we're on drugs" part seems to go along with what kurtdyoung says. In some way, we are all on drugs. It doesn't have to be the illegal kind or narcotics, just at one point in our lives we've had to take some kind of pill or herb to heal us, which, in this song, seems to alter our perceptions. Like brainwashing. You know? (I'm not really 100% sure on this one though)
This is a really great song...somehow it gets stuck in my head all day and i keep singing the "we're on drugs" part to myself. hehe great song.
