I don't like this song but it's one of the best lyrics of INXS. I don't think this song refers only to America. In my opinion refers to the people who live around the world. They share the same problems each day, no matter where they live. The narrator believes that people will find a way for better future. So generally it's an optimistic song albeit the stairs lead in two directions, up and down, so it might suggest that some people go ahead with hope, the other ones suffer depression.

@Voodemar INXS is from Australia, so it definitely isn't only about America. It may not even be partly about America.
