"This garden we’ve planted will come up around us
And take us all down in a great big avalanche
Of useless things, of persistently plastic things,
Of things that cost us this tiny world of tiny kings"
If the garden is industry and all it's products (including pollution and corruption) and the narrator "I" is the earth it's self then the song can easily take the form of a warning to consumerism.
