I'm not entirely sure of the meaning song. I only know it sounds good.
But if I had to take an educated guess, I'd say that the song is basically saying, we're ungrateful. Every chance we take, we're saying bad things about our government and our way of life, but really, compared to other people in 3rd World countries, we have it good.
The chorus of the song hits it home:
We are the fortunate ones
Who've never faced oppression's gun
We are the fortunate ones
Imitations of rebellion
We're trying to ignite a fight against our government even though we have everything that others less fortunate wish they could have. Our government isn't perfect, of course; far from it, really. But still, it's better than most.
