Radiohead – How Do You? Lyrics 12 years ago
This song is about the archetypal bully with an abusive dad. He feels powerless against his father so he tries to feel powerful against others. The song is asking "why is he like this?". There is never a reply because normal we don't look for reason past self interest from bullying, but the reason is because of his abusive dad. That's my take.

Radiohead – Million Dollar Question Lyrics 12 years ago
I agree it's about the corporate mentality. Radiohead is probably on the receiving end of a lot of heat from record labels theyre not used to with this being their first album. Theyre probably sick of it. "To call in sick and late at work". It's probably mostly about not wanting record labels to control their music.
"Was always tangled up in knots
To keep myself from speaking up
But no-one's listening anyway
Just trying to bribe me.."

So they want to be indie
"Packed a bag and took a jet"

But theyre not sure
"I just think maybe I'm making a mistake."

I like the realism of the spite in this line
"I hope they miss me"

Hope my interpretation helped.

He probably meant both. Even if he didn't, it fits so it sits. That's how interpreting anything made up, whether it be song or book, works.
