This is a great Jam song, and one of the highlights off of "sound affects" so im surprised no one has commented. The lyrics are pretty simple, and mostly i think about everybody wanting what someone else has. The only especially interesting thing is probably the turn around of the phrase "god created all mean equal," which in this case doesn't refer to equal rights, but rather to the idea that all sorts of people essentially act the same way. The factory worker wants to be his own boss, while the man in the corner shop wants to work in a factory. Everybody is equal in that they want something that someone else has, regardless of their social status.
