To me this song deals with Max's inability to find his own identity within a world of conformists. The kings of leon reference shows his opinion towards bands which satisfy the mass media as they sing about "girls" rather than the true issues of life. The title of the song is thus a criticism and has nothing to do with its meaning. He even notices his own tendency to "define himself through irony" and "write the same damn song (perhaps about girls) over and over again."
He ultimately decides that, although his identity remains unknown, conformity is not an option. After all, the "fake players (conformists)" are ignorant to both the important and the evil facets of life.
Therefore, the abovementioned reference to the "biggest gang in the world" could represent the mass media.

I took that as referring to the game of hooking up with chicks, as saying that you are a "player." The only guys who try and pick up numbers of girls are "fake", therefore "fake players are the ones who play the game" and the line "go to sleep" can be a metaphor for having sex as he uses it in Spidersong saying "you got those tired eyes all the time, yea you need someone to bring you to bed" meaning she wants to sleep with someone, sexually.
