Well we all suspect it's political.
and by the way the punctuation is incorrect in the beginning.
"What gives you the right
to fuck with our lives?"
A devil born in paradise <--Bad person born into a wealthy environment
A liar loves to lie <-- politician?
Keep watching your back
Killers always have killers on their track <-- responsible for lives
Keep watching the sky
'Cause you might get lucky again
I hope your drunken daughters are gay! <-- taken literally to someone with daughters
You are the shadow of fear!
You scare the love out of here
Like an ape in a cage
Small white man in a rage <-- short, white politician
Mellow suit, mellow smile <-- politician
Limousines down murder mile <--wealth
Limousines down murder mile
Watch the devil's at play!
Drain the bottle empty <-- alcohol?
California today <-- california has now been taken over by this man
Tomorrow it's you and me
But it can be narrowed down to a California based politician who is seen as responsible for peoples lives, perhaps a war. That is if you take it as literal as many of the lyrics seem. jumping back and forth between allusions and literal translations.
