Such a great song. I think it's about cult leaders who are able to get believers to support them.
Also, I think the lyrics to the 2nd verse are actually:
Where are we headed for
For a distant shore
Or some brand new war
Don't know why I can't ask for more
Don't walk out the door
What am I left here for
How is it gonna end
Should I now repent
And then make amends
Who wrote the unwritten laws
That we didn't ask for
But we can't ignore
And when the true believers die
More and more get born again
If the queen can't cope at all
There's a number she can call
