This song, for me, is just about the way the western world heading. It has a sort of doomed feeling about it. Like we are destroying ourselves and our planet but half the people in this world are completely oblivious to it or choose to ignore it. There is always an excuse for a problem and we never truely look into it properly. Also for example, you can win the lottery and sudenly everything is perfect, you have more money than you could ever imagine but money doesn't buy you happiness. This song, for me, is also about sticking two fingers up at the authority who spoon-feed us with nonsense and try to brainwash us. Anyway, just some ideas.
One of Blur's best songs. Underrated in my opinion.
