Yeah, the song has layers of meaning, I suppose. And it is awesome. But I think it's a fairly obvious commentary on their big label deal with their first two records (reference "Mountain To Sound") and "the suits" telling them they were done... washed up at such a tender age. Then he equates that experience to nothing more than just a crappy old job "human resource clone."
The sounds from next door are bands doing there thing without being messed with - which brings us to Spoon's renaissance, if you will.
