I don't see how this song is about politics. I seems to me it's about a girl who hates the fact that all this guy wants to do is have sex with her in a white limousine because he thinks it's what all girl wants and it's romantic somehow.
@Benioff lol it's definitely about politics in america at the time

the first verse is poking satirical fun at americans being coddled and patted on the metaphorical heads, treated with kid gloves

"smart guy" - Pres. Bush was known for having a lack of intelligence, so calling him a "smart guy" is sarcasm. "at the wheel" is using the limo metaphor to say he is "in charge of the country." "smart guy at the wheel"="dumb ass in charge of the country"

"feel incentives for the pharmacy" - this is a general commentary on the state of America's healthcare and how it is all about the quick fix with pharmaceuticals versus really trying to address the root cause holistically. it's also a metaphor for the country as a whole.
"running out of gas" - continuing with the limo metaphor, he's saying Bush is running the country into the ground, so to speak
