I recall reading somewhere that the song was written about record executives (aka grey suits) who take an artist's soul and turn their creations into products with no regard to the want of the artist. The song is a warning to others not to make the same mistakes. The execs make these big promises they never plan to keep to lure the unsuspecting artist and then they become legally bound to conform.
