This song makes various references to the power of music in society. The Kingsmen sang a simple song that launched an FBI investigation into the lyrics, and Marilyn Manson freaks old people out, but he's really just a "skinny public high school kid from Florida". He says that it's not Manson who inspired the kids (presumably the kids from Columbine) to get guns and shoot their friends. It's only Manson who's empathizing with them. Snider goes on to rant about many other faults of society, the paradoxes of church, and at the end says music is overrated sort of, and that it's really just entertainment.
