I actually think this song is sort of criticizing the idea of wrong and right. He says "in the fine print," which I think describes the notions of "wrong and right" as sneaky, unnoticed. And that he's frightened people don't see that we're all pushed to these stark black and white contrasts.

He then goes on to say that if you're not expected to fit into a certain mold, if you're not swayed by politicians, if your love is real, then live, do whatever you want because you're not constricted by wrong and right notions.

In the third section he talks about dreaming and hoping of being free. He wants to be free of the society constraints.
