Airstreams tethered together like silver sleeping oxen
(The 'Airsteams' i think He's referenceing are the Aluminum Recreational Trailers)
All the best locations are located on the margins
(Any drive on the interstate through the southwest will show how many people inhabit the barren outskirts of the desert in trailer houses, much like the aforementioned "Airstreams')
Suited for telescoping the interstellar scene
(Ever see the sky outside the city? so many stars... it's really breath taking)
It's a mean killer in the daylight, but that's life for you and me
(The desert sucks will the sun is up, but at night it gets amazing).
(Obviously my frame of reference is the Southwestern Desert of the United States, but I'm sure it's similar no matter the landscape.)
jchvoid, I definitely like the more metaphorical take on the first verse.
Critique of federal agencies sucking up land that they feel entitled to or the global elite's lust to control everything on the planet sounds about right for Clutch. One of the many things that keeps me listening to them year after year!
Many AM radio stations are broadcast with 50,000 watts of power.
The 'airstreams' are radio waves, the simile to oxen is to indicate that we send information on the airstreams much like we load up oxen as beast of burden.
Not totally sure about the margins part, tho it may have something to do with tuning frequencies.
The telescope line is an obvious reference radio telescopes used to study space.
Mean killer in the daylight, I think, is a reference to radiation in general emitted by the sun that can cause interference with radio and would be deadly if not for the earths...

Reliable source of information is because news is broadcast on the radio.
Anthrax, ham radio and liquor seems to simply indicate listening to Anthrax, getting drunk and messing around with HAM radio - pretty straightforward.
The second and last parts go off in a different direction about dubious government agencies lying to folks, using the american dream as a sales pitch.
