clearly, 1st verse suggests ww3 is 'only in a dream' but potentially looming.
verse 4 -suggests it's normal for the town to be lonesome... (perhaps because everyone only sees themselves and doesn't care or notice anyone else = sign of the times)
verse5 -a place that's supposed to be a shelter for all seems to be occupied by someone who selfishly doesn't want anyone sharing it with him/her.
verse8 -points out that the cadillac is HIS... in retrospect seems like everyones dream is to aquire their own cadillac via the destruction of all others.
verse6 -the one guy he sees fears bob bcuz he's suspect that bob's a communist (demonstrating a general distrust of all whom he sees)
verse10 - now that he's got his 'dream' of having all the world to himself he finds it's pretty lonesome
finally - the point... he's willing to revise his dream to include the rest of the world if they will revise theirs to include him.
I don't think he was pointing out that the Cadillac is HIS so much as reiterating the brand name and giving the slogan "good car to drive after a war" to mock advertising - how people put consumerism etc. over the welfare and survival of humanity.
