This song (in my opinion) is about what happens when you lie. Only if the lie is big enough, though. In saying, "commodified, indoctrinate expendables into the splendid lie," it is saying that expendables (soldiers most often) are manipulated into situations which don't even exist, and could or do die because of it. After that, people will give you a lot of trouble about it, "When everything you do comes back three times to you." Also, by saying, "Bound by the chain of lies you've wrapped around you," it says that once you have said/done something, you are bound to your word/actions. And "Waiting for the ghost to bite," means that you are waiting for the inevitable consequences of your stupid actions.
