One of Clutch's best, along with the entire Impetus record! I'd say it's about paranoia, aliens and conspiracy theories, kinda like Animal Farm. I wouldn't really claim it has a 'real' philosophical meaning though.

Escape from the Planet of the Apes would be escaping from earth, because in essence humans are just sophisticated apes. The Prison Planet would suggest being trapped, maybe the song's personae thinks himself an alien?
