You have to keep Go4's sence of sarcasm in mind when listening to this song. The line "To hell with poverty", which reflects the frustration of the working classes, is followed by "we'll get drunk on cheap wine" which reflects how they contribute to the same system that they are so frustrated with. The paycheck returns to the corporations just a couple of days after it arrives, and the worker still believes he is rebeling against the system.
