This masterful song clearly refers to "Citizen Kane", directed by Orson Welles. As liarsclub said, this song is practically taken from the movie. If anyone who reads this has not seen the movie, go see it. It truly is the greatest movie of all time, and this band might become the greatest of all time.
The bit about "there's no true love" comes from the picnic scene in the movie, near Xanadu. The song in the middle of the song about Kane comes from Kane's celebratory party for his newly acquired newspaper staff. The union forever refers to the words the young Charles Foster Kane shouts as he plays in the snow with his sled (Rosebud) outside his mother's boarding house. The stuff about the oil and gold refers to the scene where Kane insults his guardian, Thatcher, who simply cannot understand him. Someone else here said it, but the thing about having to love him is said by his second wife, Susan Alexander in the same scene as the "there can't be love".

It's an amazing movie. This is an amazing band.
