Very easy song to interpret. He is clearly talking to Bush, and possible other world leaders about everything they have done wrong. The lies, deceit, etc.

Ok this sounds stupid
But
This song is about theives and hypocrites
Think about it
The 1st part s about Thieves; "do you tell yourself I don't realize"
and the 2nd is hypocrites; the singer trusted the person and the person that was trusted turned their back on the singer
"I'm beginning to think that I've been decieived/You will pay for what you've done."

Of course it's about thieves and hypocrites. But which ones??? it is deeper than just him screaming at all thieves and hypocrites. It could be taken as him speaking just to Bush. AKA he is talking about how he believed in him at first: "I had hope, I believed..." then how as the war has dragged on how he has lost his faith in him: "...but I'm begining to think that I've been deceived." also you can see with the verses:

"your crusades a disguise,
replace freedom with fear you trade money for lives."

As in how he believes that the war isn't just about freeing oppressed people (the disguise)but about making money (the oil from Iraq). As a resule American soldiers have died.

Or maybe it is just about them being pissed at their record company (though I doubt their label has killed people in the process of making money lol)

This song is about Bush and his cabinet of idiots and liars.

No, MRO and the red spade definitely got it rite. It's about bush because if you look in the lyrics booklet, the original lyrics in the first verse verse are "are you lost in your lies, do you tell yourself 'i don't realize my campaign's a disguise.'" And in the second verse it says "you trade freedom for fear / replace money for lives" which is obviously talking about the war in Iraq and soldiers losing their lives.

There are at least two ways to interpret this song. First one is the political because we have Replace freedom with fear You trade money for lives Which is clearly referring to bush But we also have the much closer personal thing. "l've paid for your mistakes" which is perhaps about friend who have been using you kinda like in Runaway. And this song has nothing to do with their recording company or whatever
