I can't really break down this lyric or the specifics of its writing, but it was written by Dennis, not Brian Wilson, and I assume he's disallusioned with the direction parts of the country were taking in the early 70's with the relative innocence of the 50s/early 60s gone. Regardless, it's a very deep and artistic song, something more attributed to Brian. It's not catchy or typical Beach Boys at all, and seems unfinished... but that was the direction the band generally took for the 70's.
