Possible Themes: Louisiana, aquatic life, modernization vs. technophobia, rural vs. urban
Meaning? Best guess is that this song is sort of a companion piece to "Unfair" from Crooked Rain. There are two groups against each other and they each speak through the lyrics. The first two stanzas seem to highlight the difference between two groups, the first group works down south, probably New Orleans in factory jobs,and mocks the second group which is made up of Cajun swamp people.
Later in the song, the split seems to be between the college educated and the rubes. The country people defending their worth and saying "hands of the bayou" and the smart-arsed collegiate mocking their superstitions and limited perspectives.
Pretty much stuff we see everyday on the news.
I always thought it was "hit the bong" and not "drop the bomb." Could be wrong.
Hey, that's sounds pretty plausible actually, good job. "I learned a lot about the fiction ya tossed" fits into that perfectly, like someone saying they've learnt the truth and can now see through all the lies that every spreads (about religion maybe, if the song is set mostly in the South?)

Now I can't tell whether if bong or bomb either, I think yours may just be right.
