This songs a plea for people to listen to the younger generation and the ideas that they have. It seems to me that Weller feels the youth and their views are being ignored. They are becoming disillusioned with society and the way they are treated from people in authority: "you make me look a fool".
They are also against the policies taking place: "thousand men in uniforms". I think this refers to the police and their new powers to kill people.
My favourite song by The Jam, and one of the best baselines I've heard.
