As far as I can tell, the meaning of this song is:
Paul Rodgers needed to write some lyrics quickly. He was was looking forward to making some dough, because he and Page were regarded as 'bankable' by record execs. They'd quickly run through their advance chartering jets and snorting coke. Unfortunately, he had run out of rhymes - outside of the most hackneyed ones. He had run out of ideas that distinguished his lyrics from the great steaming turd that was 80s AOR radio as it became CHR. Overall, the meaning of this song is the complete bankruptcy of the myth of quality behind these 70s rock icons.
