I couldn't find the lyrics to this song anywhere, so I just listened to it a few times and figured them out as best as I could. Any corrections?
The only real insight I have to offer as to meaning of this song is to point out the reference to the novel One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey, which, for those of you who don't know, is about a cruel and very strict insane asylum. There is obvious irony in the statement that he is both R.P McMurphey (a rebellious and actually quite sane tenant) and Nurse Ratched (the cruel and controlling head nurse) who, in the story, are enemies.
Although this song has an upbeat sound and light melody, there also seems to be an eerier, darker element addressed. Doom's Day, Insanity, Rebellion, Machinery.
