"Three out of five, three out of five (it's not enough)"
"Three out of five, three out of five (it's not enough)"
(This, in my opinion, references the major conflicts the USA was involved in during the 20th Century. Five in total: Korea War, Vietnam War, World War I, World War II and Gulf War. Of these five, only three were won, the WWI, WWII and Gulf War, while the Korea War was a stalemate with the USSR and the Vietnam War was an outright failure. Therefore, 3 out of 5. "it's not enough" might either mock this fact or refer to the fact that there are never enough conflicts for the USA.
"Six out of ten, better luck next time"
This comes as a prediction. The USA will keep getting into conflicts, and will always end up with a roughly 60% victory rate. This has a connection to "some things will never be different". And the fact that they will always keep looking for conflict, in search of "better luck for next time".
"Just like his dad, just like his dad (the same mistakes)"
Pretty straightforward reference to George Bush senior and the common mistakes in father and son's administrations.
"Some things will never be different"
Already mentioned by boss 2k and my past line.
Next few lines, I agree with boss 2k, so let's jump to these:
"Bury your head in the sand"
I feel like taking both a figurative and literal approach to this. Burying your head in the sand because of shame, but also perhaps a reference to the sand-filled middle east?
"I'm thinking six, six, six
I'm thinking six"
And finally this. Of course we all know 666 has demonic associations and the fact that Bush could very well be the devil, but also, if you return to my "3 out of 5" interpretation... "I'm thinking six" could mean "I see a sixth conflict coming" and BAM, here we have the sixth major conflict in recent history of the USA, the Iraq war.
So what do you think? Any comments about my interpretations?
I like your way of thinking, but I think you may be reading a little too much into it.
For example, your "3 out of 5" theory has two flaws:

These numbers could be related to absolutely anything if you twist and interpret it enough.
and 2. It depends on what you count as a major conflict. I mean, does there have to be a certain number of people dead for a conflict to be classed as "Major?"
