kmcook, as far as the lyrics are concerned, you're spot on, it is chopper. As for the meaning, it's a put-down of the decadent rich with more power then they deserve and nothing really worthwhile to occupy their time (probably living on daddy's money and/or fame). A few songs of the late sixties had a similar theme. One that springs to mind is 'Freedom Come, Freedom Go' - I can't remember who it's by, but some of the lyrics include 'Dady is a doctor, mother is a debutante, pillars of society living in a mansion somewhere in the country and another in Chelsea' and 'Freedom is her name and Freedom is her nature, Freedom is a sunny day - Freedom never does do what she doesn't want to, Freedom never has to pay'
