Love this one too. I didn't take the medicine them as literally, I actually take it to be some comment on the music industry, how bands get cleaned up or neutered, etc, by labels/the music biz. Maybe how bands/artists lose sight of what they're trying to do when they're more focused on putting out "popular music" as opposed to good music? "Record for the master," "Forty billion served," "is this thing even on" - that's how I read all this. New Porns lyrics are always so textured and compelling, there are probably a billion interpretations.
