I disagree with the title and I think Spyder does too as he shouts this ain't a song about noting through out the song, I think that was his intention. I think it is a commentary on how brainless celebs and pop culture has become (and probably always was) and how vacuous consumers of pop culture are. It may be about the dangers of being vacuous in such a chaotic world. The main point wake up.

consider the first part of the song

This could have been about a lot of things but it's not ) So don't stop and try to look for the message The world moves and it don't ask why

Your kids will burn red-hot like the Fourth Of July

and

I could've told about what's inbetween the head and the hand

But you don't even understand

I could've told about the rise and the fall

( But this time, I swear it's not about-- ) anything at all!

and finally

( This could've been about alot of things but it's not ) ( So don't waste time and look for the meaning ) You heard so many things you couldn't recall

( But this time, I swear it's not about-- ) anything at all!

so yeah I wasted my time and looked for the meaning but hey it was pretty obvious seems to be the general theme of that particular underrated album from an underrated band.
