i think that it's a comparison of global warming to teens being brainwashed by the media

people do bad things (trash the earth/set horrible examples), others follow (also live wastefully/neglect to develop an individuality and just follow the horrible examples being set on tv), everything is desecrated (the earth is fucked up/america is fucked up), the people doing the desecrating are ignorant and don't care/realize and they ignore the wise warnings (people ignore proof of global warming and deny it/people refuse to admit that this generation of children is turning into a bunch of stupid kids who sit around listening to rap and shopping at hollister and have no plan for the future), and then everyone is made to suffer (the polar icecaps melt and flood the earth/america fails because 90% of the population consists of usless, vapid pieces of trash)

"the insides are all useless, but the rest is fertile" --the resources are depleted, but things look okay/ the kids' minds and hearts and souls are empty, but they look hot

"the gardener's coming to collect" --disaster is coming; what you've asked for is here
