It's about the generation of the 1960's sexual revolution and so on growing older and still trying to hang on to the music, sex, ideals and rebellion of their youth even while those things have become nothing more than products marketed to them by corporations. It's the manics when they were young making fun of the older generation of music... of course now the manics are getting old themselves, I wonder if they still sing this song. Anyway it's a rockin' song and the manics totally rock regardless of age, but there's still a sense of schadenfraude.
Feels good to yell "Rebellion, it always sells at a profit!"
