I think that this song is about the underclass of America, how America is supposed to be the land of opportunity and prosperity, yet so many Americans live in such abject poverty misery and are forgotten by the rest, including how decrepit the society became ("Inside the subway stinking fear and shame Becomes the violent Breathe") . I'm not sure if "I'm just a number on a metal fence" refers to being a statistic in slum-housing, prison, or both.
"Learn to love your anger now, anger here is all you possess"
