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
