FWIW, I think this is the Zipper's comment on the music biz.
Most pro musicians are broke as heck, but when you get picked up by a lable, the biz dudes ("Suits" being an anachronistic slang for "business person") pay your expenses. But they still want to hang out and party with the band.
In the end, the narrator expresses remorse that, though they've been burned in the past and now they have carte blanche, he misses the old days (possibly because he and his friends are overdoing it, or because they need the Suits in order to do it).
Otherwise, it about business dudes who want to party with these guys and basically buy their friendship.
YMMV
Best modern swing band EVER. Very raw and authentic, these guys are the punk rockers of swing. I never get tired of them, and am glad they're still around, even if it does seem take ages between album releases.
