Gonna throw a little different interpretation out there.
You could take this as a comment on the nation's preoccupation with College Football.
Hear me out.
The first thing that clued me to this was the opening line. "Crimson Tide" is the mascot of the University of Alabama athletics. They also have some of the most passionate fans you will ever see.
"Several of my friends wear the color of the crown." This could point to friends who support different teams, indicated by the school colors they wear.
"Mary wants to build it up... Sheri wants to tear it all back down." This could point to one fan obsessively supporting a team, while another fan wants to see the team fail.
"The Monarchy of Roses", "We all want the rose, you know." What team does not want to go on to win the Rose Bowl.
