"He never ever saw it coming at all.../It's all right.../No one's got it all"
It means to me that the hero (which is just your everyday person) failed--he never saw this evil particularly attacking him. But Regina, or the outsider looking in, says no one has it all perfect, all figured out. We are all fallible to temptations and evils.
"Power to the people/We don't want it/We want pleasure/And the TVs try to rape us/And I guess that they're succeeding/Now we're going to these meetings/But we're not doing any meeting/And we're trying to be faithful/But we're cheating, cheating, cheating. " These are merely examples of evils. TV's and gossip, the loss of community in our world, the loss of faith. "Now open wide, here comes original sin." It's all being 'forcefed' to us, with no way to escape it.
Saying "It's all right." So many times over: it seems like she's trying to convince herself that it's all ok/the norm/the status quo.
"I'm the hero of the story/Don't need to be saved" very independent view of things. It sounds less like she doesn't want to be saved, but more it will look like she's lost if she is saved from all these evils that she never thought would affect her.
