No way, this song is not an arrogant statement at all. It's about how just because you're less privileged than others it doesn't mean you're set for life as a lamb. Realising your ability is a beautiful thing not arrogant!
"Enslaved in a pebble-dash grave" refers to a mundane suburban existence many remain in for life.
"You might live in a screen kiss" refers to the first seeds of escapism forming through romanticising about a more exotic life.
"And I'll make them bleed" refers to the helplessness some people feel at the mercy of other, stronger individuals.
"Belong to a world that's gone - it's the English disease" I believe refers to outgrowing a way of life that's been upheld within the family for generations.
I think it's about wanting to get away from your suburban life,
"some satellite town and there's nothing you can do",
some do it by dreaming about different life ,or by living in there mind in a "different world".

You can go out and live the life you always dreamed about , or you can stay in the "old world" of english traditions...
"You might live in a screen kiss, it's a glamorous dream
Or belong to a world that's gone, it's the English disease"
