i think this song is describing how the world only cares for money and greed and how capitalism sustains itself."The price of gas keeps on rising
Nothing comes for free" just reinforces this point.
"Just swat the fly" says that big companies just squash people who get in there way, as long as they get what they want I.E money.
"The ghosts are here, red white and blue" i think this line refers to the past of britain, how British Empire invaded and conquered teh globe and took loads of stuff and ruined countries.
i also think there is an element of conservation and environmental issues are in this song. teh "mid sized car" suggests an effort has been made to reduce polution and the person thinks that because they are drving a small car it will make it all better "it never hurt anyone" the environment issue comes back with mentions of "spade" and "trowels"
