I think this song has to do with how people talk about changing the world but actually do very little to alter the world they see. The "pledge alliegence" referance is political, taking a blow at nations. The "hold a hand" and "angel" lines seem to suggest that we can all be angels, helping ones soul at a time. The world is not pretty, but we have the power to change that. Fade the talk, start the action.
