This is what I've picked up from the song (my perception has changed from living in another country for 5 months)
I've just been living in the outback of Australia in a small aboriginal community and one word the idiginous always used in any context was "mob". Your family was your mob, your friends were your mob, anything could belong to a mob, even animals. Flea is from Australia and the song also makes another Australian reference "Rockin' to the beat of a kangaroo" so I recon they are using the word mob as the aboriginals use it as in we're all connected/related.
One line that I notice no one's talked about is "Breaking hearts instead of bread"
I really like that line alot, and I think it touches on how we might be all one big mob, related, yet we still hurt each other instead of helping each other (eg, we rob each our neighbours, we beat our kids, we lie to anyone)
