I think this song has more to do with something Billy Corgan knew about the world that he couldn't come out and say openly... so he is communicating with us through his music. This song really didn't mean much to me until I listened to it again today and I caught this part: "yeah, we've got a master plan
yeah, we're an american band for you
'cause when you're hypnotized
'cause when you're hypnotized
they'll spin you gold and paint you black
with the blood of your surprise"
It all made sense... and suddenly the song became very chilling and ominous. it was as if Billy had tried us all something a long time ago. The significance of the song being played on television for their last TV performance is easily explained when the song is taken in this context. The inclusion of it on the non-commercial release called Machina II: Friends and Enemies of Modern Music is also more apparently purposeful. Billy even threw in lyrics to throw people who might be looking for this off.
You've gotta understand... he wrote that into the song as a main lyric.
"yeah, nobody understands
yeah, that we've made our plans
yeah, we're tearin' it down for you
for you"
Nobody understands. We've made our plans. We're tearing it down for you.
Tearing what down?
Many of you are probably accustomed to entertainers being mostly fluff, but if any of you are truly appreciative of Billy Corgan you will leave room in your thoughts for the possibility that he may play a grander part than just as a simple rocker from Chicago.
