The pinball refers to Sonic Spinball, and the "driver" is the person playing (or driving) the MegaDRIVE.
"Who was sent to glorify?" - Who is the player chosen to complete this mind-boggling video game?
"Before we injected this common pride" - "Injected" or "inserted" the cartridge into the machine, "common pride" meaning a common pass-time - ie video games
"Pacified by the small things in life
I wait for earthquakes to rearrange" - Whilst hunting for rings (the small things in life) to unlock the hidden stages, you need to wait to hit the button which triggers an earthquake in the pinball area to access more rings.
"Wish I could rape the day,
just something radical" - Wish I could conquer this tough game or "rape it", to get the top rank: RADICAL
"I lack from superhighway thoughts
Won't live as long as the city lights
Soaked by underwater times
Electric splash on a midnight drive" - This refers to how the player (vocalist) is bored of the traditional Sonic package of superhighways, and frustrating underwater levels (especially in S3+K when you enter the water whilst wearing a lightning shield and it disappears (aka: "electric splash"). He plays these games late at night on his MegaDrive ("midnight drive").
