With this song I get an image of world leaders and their people.
In the first stanza, the leader wants to start a war that he believes is swift justice
and he expects people to agree that this is righteous.
They're supposed to be patriotic and willing to die.
"You'll drive in my car" is supposed to make these soldiers feel
as if they are they ones in control.
And also like like the leader is trusting them with his life. You control the wheel.
While being assured that this is glorious.
Then it's talking about the masses of people looking up at a "big screen"
like people gathering for announcements from a dictator who's delusional.
But then it says "Get out the car, it's time for me to drive"
Which is the inevitable outcome as leaders abandon their people and protect themselves.
They're statistics, dying while the leader is drunk on delusions of glory and power.
There on after, it's "I'll drive in my car".
The people are forgotten and he cares only about himself.
All the while for him, "it's so wonderful".
