This is such a Jack White song it's actually funny.
First verse is about how it's so easy to get sucked into believing the same as everyone else, rather than what you were brought up to hold as true, and that the new view clouds his judgement, but he wants to stick to what he believed in before.
'I don't buy what they're telling me' is he has to pay the same price and work as hard as everyone else, even though what he produces from it is different from them and probably not what they asked for (eg in music, the blues)
Third verse, he wants to just have fun like everyone else because that's the easy thing to do, even if he doesn't believe it's right. Which is why he doesn't do it.
'Some dreams are worse than the truth'. Maybe this is the way it's supposed to be after all.
