sure it might be about the white stripes, but i think there is such a deeper meaning to this song!
I think it's about the backwards and corruption of society. Doesn't it seem odd to supposedly clean water with chemicals? "Somewhere on the edge of town" could suggest how removed governments are from the people they govern. The fact that there are "no guarantees" suggests how leaders might promise something that would make life better for people, but that promise might not come to reality. Twisted and backwards govenmental rule can be what give people troubled lives.
