The song is based on a short story called "The Great Automatic Grammatizator," by Roald Dahl. The story is about a guy who builds a machine that writes perfect stories, putting authors out of work. This song actually has a bunch of lines from the short story in it, example being "God grant me the strength to let my children starve."
If thats true i think the song is about how no one is doing anything original or creative anymore. The ones that are are being ignored "God grant me the strength to let my children starve" Since he refuses to follow what everyone else is doing he is being ignored and he isn't making money. It's like movies now a days, they're all remakes or the same formula being repeated. Every one is "contemplating contracts of gold". They'd rather have the money that be creative.
