I think this song is more about music itself, and it's ability to inspire people. People with authority always try to control music, and I think Tom is saying that music is the one form of art that you can't control, that people will always defend music, and come up with their own meanings.
The chorus is asking if you'd be willing to give up your favorite music, and that people feel most at home while they're listening to their music.
