I'd say it's pretty clear that with this song the band is telling music writers that 1) the band is indifferent to negative critics and press, and 2) music criticism is a sham anyway, because at the end of the day the goal is to "impress" the public (ie rather than writing an honest review, the reviewer goes out of his way to be shocking/dismissive/elitist/cool/intellectual etc)
badlydrawn27, I suspect the "year's a long time" comment to be a wry dig against music writers and press who phone them up when their new album's out for interviews and comments as if they were old mates, yet have made no contact with the band since the last album was out.
Cheers theprentoshow for the correct lyrics.
