That may explain the lyric "Big shots argue about what they've got" as well. Big shots as in the world's super powers, USA and Russia, arguing about which company's nuclear weapons are better, and which country itself is better. Klaus Nomi is really nailing diplomats well, and at the same time giving a sympathetic feel to us who are going to be victims when we did nothing.
Although the Chemise Lacoste lyric throws me off a bit - what does he mean? Could I be wrong, and could he just be talking about society? Or maybe he's just saying that the rich and powerful don't think they can be victims just because they're so important and can afford expensive French apparel.
