This song seems to me to have basically the same theme as 21st Century Schizoid Man. Honestly, I see the song more as a tribute to it/reimagining of it in a punk style with basically the same theme. Both songs are excellent, and definitely worth listening to.
Apparently Brett was a fan of King Crimson, I believe that's a reason Epitaph was named Epitaph, and some of the lyrics are borrowed from 21st Century Schizoid Man.

"Innocence raped with napalm fire" and "Neuro-surgeons scream for more" come from 21st Century Schizoid Man. Also, "Everything I want I really need" is a play on the line "Nothing he's got he really needs". The 21st Century Schizoid Man references tend to be in the last verse.
