I believe this song is about, a dictatorship and how people want change, and revolt against authority. To be a rebel. "Why must we choose and die". The narrator is asking why we must we have to push to such extremes to receive change. "Deep pockets, body piled high". The carnage of tyranny. All and all this is about how people want to fight for their civil rights, and will do anything to get it.
