I don't agree with the ideas that this song is about the future, it's about the past. I think this song is about Josef Stalin's (president Joe) brand of communism (saviour machine). Stalin was seen as the saviour of the Soviet Union when he took power. His controlling ideas took away individuality (creating boredom) and made him insane resulting in him killing many many people in his delusion of being God (Saviour). His ego pleads for death as he recognises his own madness and blood lust.
