This band is, hands-down, the greatest band to ever emerge from the underground punk scene! So, as follows, here is what I believe the entire song to be:
I agree with everyone who said it's about "America's Army", created by the US Military to get kids involved with a video game depicting the 'glory' of war. However, under the surface, this is anything but true!
Colonel Casey Wardynski is the director of the U.S. Army’s OEMA (Office of Economic and Manpower Analysis) at the United States Military Academy. He was the project originator/coordinator/founder. He basically created this war machine/tool that is now being used to hook/line/sinker the future generation of children into loving war and sticking it in their heads that in real life, they will get to do exactly what they are doing in the game. Exploiting children early gains them their confidence in the future. If the military can be cool enough to make us this game they must rock!
Moving right along through the song, after COL. dick-head is introduced, he surprises the audience by outrageous, Freudian slips. At first, he announces everything in a manner that is pleasing, like all political propaganda, to hear. However, towards the end of the mainstream speech part, he slips and lets everyone know that they've actually help support the war agenda by being so stupid they couldn't see this game for what it really was: a trojan horse to allow the US Military to enter their children's lives. And not only that, the people actually paid for their stupidity outright.
Pink is a soft, non-threatening color, so naturally they've chosen it as their prime directive for "background-noise", because on the surface, it's soothing, but underneath it's another trojan horse.
So now, everyone is outraged, but it's too fucking late, so the COL. tells them all to, basically, shut the fuck up and just sit back down, because soon they'll all be dead and their children will belong to him. And in the end, the children will only know the glorious propaganda-influenced military community, rather than their relationship to nature and the power of human liberty.
@zmodem Pretty good analysis. Also amazing song, the one the How to clean everything crowd seems to enjoy the most from PCL, well side B of PCL has Chris/Glenn/Pete/Jesus (all the names he's used so far, although it's really just Chris) singing more normally while side A has some thrashy vocals.
