The song seems to be about medicating your troubles away. The reffrences to Ritalin and Prozac are the main things that brought me to this idea. This line:

The beer and the broads and the broads and the booze."

So it's not just medicating your problems away the way that is pushed on people via mental disorder correcting persciptions, but also the way that people try to drink and fuck their problems out of their heads.
