This song is about two different generations--the earlier one that laid the foundations for America (railroad tracks, communication, commerce, etc.) and the later one that lives in different times and doesn't appreciate the sacrifices of those that came before. She seems to be blaming the younger generation, but things do change and what was once important is not so anymore.
