This song to me means that we are all mechanical almost, that we follow everything "the man" says, and it turns us bad. She feels sorry that it has to happen because life would be so much more meaningful if this did not happen. The line that says ignorance is bliss is saying that human nature ignores the fact that we were made to obey, and we never break out of our shells, which makes us all the same.
