I think it was about the age of technology, sort of like the comments that Vorticists and Dadaists were making in their art in the 1910s. Almost Radio GaGa-like in it's comment on music: "In the machine's world, it ain't no place for rack and roll". Its the premise around which the whole We Will Rock You musical was based. It's also about being forced to conform: "With smoke-blackened pistons of steel they compress me". I suppose you could also red brain-washing into it if you really wanted to. But there's definitely comment on technology and society and how we need to go "back to humans"
