A little research helped me to elaborate my interpretation of this lyrics. Algiers is a huge financial, corporate, commercial and cultural center. Page Hamilton talks about urbanization and destruction of resources.

"I don't know why we're hated Yeah, we got problems too It's only filthy land", a justification to expand the business.

"Another worthless malcontent Another savage Another day without regret And all this damage", the discontent of the population in relation to the damages caused by the growing economy.

My favorite verses.
