nope. it's a bit deeper... at least, i interpret it like this:
it's a commentary on the music industry, and how the media totally bastardizes anything good.
the chorus "i taught you how to cyclops rock, then you turn around and break my heart / waste my time / mess up my mind.." is saying how.. at a time, musicians were all about the rock, right? but then, something (let's say MTV, for argument's sake) just sells it out and rock becomes a corporate thing.
and thus, the scene is destroyed.. "gotta find a new place to hang out, cuz i'm tired of living in hell."
"all the children run away from me / gotta find new friends to hang with cuz you're all afraid of me" like.. the kids now don't appreciate real music, and people are afraid to like things that aren't shoved down their throat by the media.
the whole cyclops thing is a metaphor for doing your own thing, but also still ending up feeling like a freak -- alienation.
"There's a whole new generation waiting to be wrecked by you" basically sums it all up
