It seems like this is about something bigger than hating a single person. I like to imagine it's about the end of Greed, which has a lot of the personality flaws they describe. It seems to be about some despicable entity that everyone is tired of causing so many problems in the world. The fact that they introduce the band makes it seem like they're saying "this is us talking here", unlike other songs where a different character is speaking (Reprehensible, etc).
Just my first impression, I could be way off! I think schoolchildren staying home and banks closing are probably good clues for whatever the message is.
