The music is so happy- the lyrics seem quite happy as well, but take a closer look. Some of the lines, thrown in at random, it would appear, are very dark and have underrtones of sadness. "Damn that man," ; "This time last week I was feeling crap"; "End this hell!" I think it is about a manic depressive on an "upper". Big American Cars are large and shiny, but "you ain't never gonna make it in Memphis" - home of Elvis. Contrasting ideals, so maybe shizophrenia coukld be involved in someway.
