I heard a radio show on npr where eugiene himself said this was about the the european sex slave industry and how alot of ucraneian women have disapeared due to these "be a model now" scams

The main thrust of the lyrics of this track refers to the ubiquitous human/sex trafficing as has been taking place after the collapse of the former Eastern Block. In interviews, Eugene Huetz laments the disappearance of all the beautiful young women from where he grew up and actually refers to specifically this track where he expertly depicts the sex-slave recruitment dynamics. The teaser lines about being a model and minimal work it would entail (only having to show up) immediately followed by the unsubtle reference to 'Breaking ground' which in some parts is slang for 'popping one's cherry' or more to the point; losing one's virginity. Mentioning cruelty and Stanza:

There forever be wretched of Earth : You're no exception.Things have always been this way Crawlin' up round driven by last semen drop : No let-up until the last "John" is done. Factory that makes you, they say, it never stops : The Factory(=Organization) allows no escape
Factory that makes them, I know, will never stop..: The factory can only continue because you do. (and YOU WILL!)

contains all aspects of forced prostion. At least, that's how I read it.

Corrected lyrics, with Russian/Ukranean text fixed:

It is easier to see Evil as entity Not as condition inside you and me I did not invent it, I'm just in charge of it Simple businessman with simple practical plan

So do you wanna be a model, yeah? All you got to do is show up, wow! We'll be leaving soon for the breaking ground For there will forever be poverty There forever be cruelty

When they do this live hutz was (for the last two shows I've been to) wearing a pink wig and high heels it's funny as hell, the shows get so crazy and this song is a great way to amp the atmosphere and be weird... normally hearing this within the first half hour.

They need to write a song about Russian mail-order brides. I know a number of sexist pig American men who, after being dumped by their American wives, got themselves Russian mail-order brides. One was the ex- of a good friend of mine (thinking that she wanted to find a new husband, he suggested that she read a book called "The Subservient Wife").

The third verse (ending with "Factory that makes them, I know, it never stops") makes me think the song also refers to making porn movies, because in the society nowadays men are encouraged to perceive girls as sexual objects; therefore the quotation above.
