This song reminds me so much of the Great Gatsby, although I'm not sure if that's what this song is completely about. "Can you measure a man by the line of his credit?" reminds me about how rich Gatsby was and how he had earned a large portion of his money from bootlegging. and of course "American dreams ripping at the seams" As well as the whole difference between classes and unjust society, as capnmunch said above.

I love the last line so much.
