i dont know that this is what the song was actually meant to say, but i think it fits well.
it could be about the whole entertainment industry (Hollywood, TV networks, music execs, etc.) and how they are leading our generation away from the truth.
By glamorizing drugs, alchohol, dangerous and reckless stunts, and premarital sex, they are causing thousands of media-viewing teens to participate in these activities and end up hurt or dead. But no one calls the media on it because they "keep us entertained" and we "overlook the bloodstains on [their] hands".
the media has a lifestyle that they want everyone to follow, basically, an invisible hook they want us to dance to.
Has anyone heard the line "sex sells"? that might have some bearing on "they can sell what they took" (they took sex and twisted it away from its original definition into something sinful and dangerous, and now they are selling it back to us).
again, im not saying that this is definitely what the songs about, but it's an interesting thought....
