this song is about people who are not willing to accept changing styles of music.
The first verse is basically telling these people how everyone is enjoying the new direction that music (as a whole) is going. That they don't have to resist it and that they can feel the music world is changing
The second verse makes me think that they are telling the people to let their guard down; but are claiming that their band (steely dan) is one of these new types of music emerging, but they hole the same values of making good music and the people should just welcome the change
