i think this song is trying to make you realize how screwed up the american population is, as a whole. we blow off friends and family to sit staring at our televisions for countless hours. we drink away our problems rather than face them, 'clean your conscience clear your thoughts with speyside with your grain.' i think that jim is trying to say that you need to wake up and turn your life around, 'i bled the greed from my arm won't they give it a rest now?' almost like he is saying that you need to shut the damn tv off and pay attention to everything in life because it will only happen once and it is so precious. thats just my feelings on the song.
