General Border is a character in the children's book "Drummer Hoff;" which, by the way, is fuckin trippy. I'm not really sure how that ties to the overall meaning of the song, though.
I think that this song is lamenting the way those in power exploit those beneath them within the contexts of religion and war. Come to think of it, that may be where the Drummer Hoff reference fits in (General Border gave the order and Drummer Hoff fired it off). The references to carpetbaggers, robber barons, and Hezbollah seem to support this.
The above lyrics are incorrect; it should be:
The Theocrats
with cricket bats
Hezbollot of love to give ya
never take it back
