Yeah, to me this means the way the band/Sonny perform...if you verse by verse it makes sense...
hello ladies and gentleman,
I'm glad you've graced me with your presence
you're in time to see me wrestle with my consience
and staring in the si-si-si-silence
[He's thankful that the people have come to the show, and he's saying that they'll see him dealing with whatever he's feeling and using it in the song.]
you see I came to save the stage,
I hope I'm not too late
passion called from back behind the curtain screaming,
"sonny this is urgent"
[his passion for what he does is what makes him go out there and perform, and it's important for him to do it.]
fill these 50 persons with a purpose,
but don't just give it away
inspiration isn't cheap these days,
you better make them earn it
[give the audience a purpose, but don't just let them have it, make them interact, they need to 'earn' a good show]
...
how do I address the letter to my generation?
sonny she said, "save yourself the postage"
how do I address a letter to my generation?
sonny she said, "sing it in person."
[how can he get his message across and say what he wants to say to his generation, and he's being advised by his conscience or whatever to sing it to them, to show them what he wants to say through song.]
