You watch the new video for this song (look on Youtube), and you get a sense it has to do with everything wrong with this country today.

-The limos in the video: The government in general -Limos hitting people: The gov't doesn't care about you -Limos stopping in front of the guy: China, specifially the Tieneman Square Fiasco (And we still do everything with them) -Limos crashing through and destroying the forest, then the smokestacks: Destroy/pollute the environment, the feds (republicans mainly) support it, w/ the oil industry -"Kick it out on the dancefloor like you just don't care": We don't care/are too ignorant to notice any of this -Camera w/ "You're being watched" sign in the video: The federal wiretapping and spying in general -The limos crashing into the guy and getting blown up: We gotta stop all of this crap

That's what I get from the video anyhow, and how it relates to the song. I could be wrong w/ any of this though
