seems to me like this song is a critique of the music industry. from what i can tell, he is suggesting that the industry as it is now is composed of artist like Gwen Stefani and Britney Spears, who, although their music is insanely popular, fail to actually discuss anything of importance in their music, or even question much of anything. It seems as though Wayne views this as a failure of the music industry as a whole, yet he also realizes there is nothing "she" or anyone can do about "a sound going through your head" and that the solution is to just let them go on.

that is just my interpretation anyway
