I hadn't listened to Fair to Midland in quite some time, but this song reminded me how awesome they are. It's always a great feeling to rediscover a group and realize you may have under appreciated them. That's a sign of true greatness.
The song reminds me of the Beatles, which is odd because I've never liked the Beatles (Sorry, I respect them, but don't identify with the majority of their songs or sound; Elanor Rigby and Come Together being the only exceptions).
To me this song is about remaining moral and opposing the immoral. There are 'snakes' or 'devils' throughout the world who will tempt you, but staying true to yourself and your beliefs and standing up for them is far more powerful. The ebb and flow of the song is awesome, and the Wizard of Oz references are some of my favorite lines.
