I think this song (not including Pharrell's part, which is great but not part of the main lyrics) is about rich girls/materialism.
Lots of references to queen bees, country club martini crew, malibu barbies, blonde ambitions debutantes. These are the rich girls.
They "hide out" behind their candy floss and in their SUVs. AKA they hide behind an image, for an easy life "hiding is easy in an SUV ... cruise control".
However, they are really in a poor state of mind and get all sorts of diagnoses and drugs prescribed to them .. ritalin, valium, being manic depressive etc. Material things are another "drug" for them, as well as partying hard "nose powder" just because they can.
But they are really unhappy, and have no need for any of the drugs or diagnoses of their supposed conditions "my headache says things are not fine ... psychogenic sais quois".
Could be bullshit, but I think this interpretation might be right! Uffie always talks about being supposedly ADD, and she could be poking fun at the tendency for rich americans to diagnose their kids with ADD when they are really just little brats.
