You can apply these lyrics to any conspiracy theory you would like. If it had been written this week, it would apply to the incredibly invasive government that the unsuspecting people of the United States have voted into office. They know what is good for us and will ram it through Congress, while ignoring the perils around the world because it would be unreasonable to demand sacrifice from anyone but the taxpaying citizens of the us who have known too much success. Freedoms are slipping further and being consolidated in Washington while we watch helplessly from the sidelines and a smooth-tongued President is supported by ruthless partisans smearing those who disagree. Oh, they will indeed. Force us, control us and degrade us; and we may not emerge victorious - unless, of course, enough of us wake up.
