from what i hear kyuss was a really non-commercial band, even tho they were approached by major labels and MTV (who wanted to film their generator bashes) they always turned it down in favour of doing their own thing for fun not profit.
I think this song is about that, a green machine is a money-making enterprise, like they could have turned their band into. and even tho he fights his own greed (the war in his head) he has a "wheel of understanding" of the bigger picture to avoid selling out, which kyuss truly managed to do.
the second verse is "hi-fidelity" (ie music) not "hospitality". he's saying he has all he wants, nature, clean air, and his music, he doesn't need the money they're offering him. Kyuss really enjoyed being kyuss, playing their songs. He's doing his bit to break down the green machine, by not giving in to the truckloads of money they were being offered to turn it into a job.
