If you don't love cute '60's pop throwbacks, you'll probably hate this song. :)
Looking strictly at the lyrics, they do sound a little condescending and dumbed-down. But listening to the song, you've got to realize that he's narrating a pretty pessimistic life philosophy to a wonderful sing-a-long pop tune, which is interesting - almost desperate. It's a device Of Montreal uses a lot, which is probably why I like it.

And I love the "ba-ba-ba-ba"s in the middle.
