I'm surprised no one has tried to take a spin at this song yet. The lyrics are so nonsensical that they can basically mean anything. For instance, what I got from this song is that it's about capitalism and using war to spread sales of items. Since 9/11 we've been buying "survival gear" and the such... "Army boots," "parachutes" "sleeping bags" et cetera. And, if course, "buy, buy, says the sign in the shop window." As I said, you can basically get any meaning you want from this song.
