Cornell said this again on Friday at the show in LA, "This song is about being on acid and having 2 cop cars pull up next to you with their lights flashing".
Like "mitchgustavtherobot" said, "If Chris Cornell says it's about an acid trip then that's what it is."

However, that having been said, it would not only be a little bit disappointing to me, it wouldn't always make sense with the lyrics.

"Down in the hole, Jesus tries to crack a smile, beneath another shovel load" just REALLY REALLY sounds deeper than some random acid song like "Look at all the happy creatures dancing on the lawn" ("Looking Out My Backdoor" by Creedence Clearwater Revival).

Also, the aforementioned 4th of July line, doesn't seem to fit with acid, other drugs, or especially cops.
If the song is, indeed, what you stated, then that is that, for sure, but it won't stop me from interpreting this song another way, it's just deeper and better that way, AND that is the glory of such good lyrics. Half the art is what it means to the listener.
@pr4mojo Sad to know that Cornell said that... This makes me think if the same applies to the universe.... Maybe there's no creator after all, maybe we are random indeed. The lesser cool story :(
