This Is Not America was written for soundtrack of the film Falcon And The Snowman. I doubt there is much of an interetation to the song apart from that.

Without having seen the film I can't comment but it does contain a reference to the title:

Snowman melting from the inside
Falcon spirals to the ground

...so there might be some relevance.

And I want to believe
In the madness that calls now
And I want to believe
There's a light shining through somehow

Having read the book, seen the movie and read the lyric, I think you're wrong. It's a unpleasant tale of cocaine dealing and espionage and quite a sad story. I think David has at least seen the movie, if not read the book, and has interpreted the sad tale of the two protagonists quite sweetly in his melancholic lyric.

This is er..a new song, it’s not recorded yet, s’called I’m Telling Lies. But I’m not. Yes I am.
