The problem with DEVO is that some of their songs are completely reliant on the video to infer any meaning from it. I think this song is a post-modern version of Plato's cave. The images that come on the screen are distractions from the lyrics themselves.
I think the Billy Idol looking clown thing, was a representation of aimless fashion rebellion, that never goes anywhere and doesn't help the music only distracts from it.
