I never thought this song really means what the title would suggest at face value.
I tend to agree with my nothing's analysis except I would say it is aimed more at the so-called "fans" who constantly bitch about how the MSP have got more commercial (Success is an ugly word
Especially in your tiny world )/crap after Richey left and so on.
I think the line "I'm tired of giving a reason " is them saying they're fed up of having to justify everything they do to the aforementioned so-called fans. They believe in the future, nothing stays the same etc. if you don't like the music they are putting out now then piss off and spend all day listening to the Holy Bible and feeling nostalgic.
Can't believe it's taken me so long to ever comment on this song but I entirely agree with Paulotehmanio. I don't think it's in line with the Manic's "socialist type" leanings at all and that they're very much "the classes" in this song.
I think it's a big two fingers up to the fans moaning at them and the last line isn't so much a comment on society, as pointing out that even if they have become the slave with a crown, they're not utterly disgusted at themselves for having done so.

"Success is an ugly...
"Success is an ugly word, especially in your tiny World" applies very much to the thoughts I have on many in Glasgow just now whooping and hollering about being in the 44.7%
