A tragic story told in a very upbeat and lighthearted way. Dark humor at its finest. The underlying message is simply how some technological advancements are unnecessary or inefficient. In other words, why would it take particle separation to make kingfish pies? They have to increase security to prevent theft of their expensive machines. They don't have room for tables or chairs anymore with the machines. "They", probably referencing the monocle men (controlling government referenced throughout the album), need them to work much faster to keep up with the machines, but they are in turn making their workers less efficient as a result. But I wouldn't look so far into this ones, as humor is the obvious intent.
