you view this song as a criticism of both mainstream (for example pop) and anti-mainstream (for example punk) cultures as the same time.
you escaped from the mainstream culture to another because they always shot you because of the person who you are and what you did was illegal againts their rules.
in the anti-mainstream culture, again they shoot you too if you attempt to break the rules.
so, you'll be shot by both side if you're going to break all the rules. ('Shot by both sides, On the run to the outside of everything')
so, they are the same shit ('this and that they must be the same')
finally everyone in such cultures should understand that these cultures are taking their freedom ("They must have come to a secret understanding")
