After Simple Boy discovers that he can leave his prison at any time, he starts to wake up.
he then starts trying to wake up those around him. unfortunately, they're dependent on the system for safety, comfort, and their limited survival.
When the keepers of the mental prison realize he's awake, they show up again. But now, their heads are on the chopping board due to the lies they've perpetuated.
I get the feeling that Simple Boy realizes that he's in this alone by the end of the song, but continues further to his freedom. there are none so hopelessly enslaved as those who feel they are free.
