I pretty much agree with you stebug, except for the part about capitalism, I don't really see that. It seems to me that it's saying how much the American society values material goods and the general need to have, and how we've abandoned the important things (spirituality, heritage, history, etc.) in life. I could also see it having something to do with commericalism, in the lines with "concession trays" and "can't afford boredom," saying that we are basically slaves to corporations trying to make money off of us. Man, I think this is my longest entry yet. By the way, I'm not the most politically inclined, so if what I've said IS capitalism, forgive me. Anyway, this is what it is to me; Great song, buy/download it you haven't already. And can we get more than two posts?
