I had the same thought pointed out by TheSidewalk in comparing this song to the Valley of Ashes in The Great Gatsby. To add, the Valley was overlooked by a billboard for an optometrist that was just a huge sign of eyes wearing glasses (very significant in the book). So, "I'm goin' to punch you in your glasses." fits conveniently.
@Cowabunga! I think it's a lot more likely that the song is based off of Cormac McCarthy's The Road. Because in the book, the man and his son walk down a road towards cities made of ashes in hopes of finding a warmer place where it isn't freezing cold. Also there is one scene where the man finds a Coca-Cola for his son. And they frequently use binoculars that are referred to as glasses. Oh, and Isaac Brock also makes a statement in an interview with MTV that he wanted The Moon and Antartica to sound like a cool Cormac...

There may be similarities to The Great Gatsby, but I'm pretty sure it was written about The Road.
