Lady Liberty Lyrics

I also think it's about a girl (too many of the lyrics, I just couldn't see how they'd apply to a country or economy). I think he calls her Lady Liberty because she acts so freely that she really doesn't care what she does or how it effects other people, and, I also gleemed from the song that she might have trouble keeping her legs together. Notice how many times he mentions that "there's a bathroom down the hall"? I think he says this as kind of a polite way of saying "get the hell out" and then repeats it to make the message more clear.
