I think this song is about relationships between minorities and those in power. It could be Native Americans, hispanic immigrants in the US or Americans made poor from the financial crisis.
Garbus is writing from the perspective of a person from a minority. The song has a lot of anger in it, and I think she is ashamed of the way her country treats its minorities.
But this interpretation is not complete, if it's even right.
