To me this song is addressed to shady government/businessmen/etc. who's goal is to find any means possible to screw over it's citizens for their personal gain. And taking a stand against it, even if they have to "put me in a hole before I let you succeed". He talks about not being complacent which is the problem with much of America. "Hope I'm on the list..." It's pretty well known that government keeps lists of those who pose a threat to them. "You've pushed me one too many times. I'm sick of all of the fiction..." -all of the propaganda/lies forced down our throats via news/media that stir emotion and allow them to get laws/regulations passed without any resistance, which take away our rights. "It's hard not to be a menace to society When half the population is happy on their knees" This one is pretty self explanatory....anyone who opposes gov't is considered a menace. And as mentioned before, most of America is far too complacent (happy on their knees). And you can see how this meaning would fit most of the other lyrics as well. Dunno...that's how I interpret it though. In fact, many songs on this album seem to have an anti-gov't tone...with a sprinkle of relationship songs here and there. Even their album is called "way of the fist", and think about how America "deals" with other countries around the world. Brute force is all they (upper government) know.
