Some better lines in the recent version are: Lock the door with the television on, / Staring blankly at the screen the way you do. / I’ll keep you there, and your money too.
The song basically is sarcastically welcoming the childlike masses of america (boys and girls) to this neo-conservative joy ride over everything else. it mocks the idea of "saving the world" with war and oil, and pretending it's legit. also, it points out how people are brainwashed by religion and the media to the point of being oblivious to the issues. instead, they just sit there enjoying this "god bless america, support our troops" joy ride. well put, can't wait for this on the album.
