Given DD's background as designers I'm pretty sure this song is similar to their other lyrics in terms of their disdain for misguided authority figures within their firm or a client's. It seems that someone was given their role by a relative, and was persistently asking for revisions or ideas that reflected current design trends (or rather, pop-culture trends that the subject of this song mistook for 'good design'). Looking at the chorus, it seems the subject is within their firm – perhaps an AE or AM – because "don't need you on our side" reflects the buddy-buddy façade many sales-types exude towards creatives while trying to appease a client. No, you're not my ally. You're trying to get the client to sign off on mediocre work so you can make your cut. No allies "bro," but sure I'll drink your beer at the client event, and accept a lap dance from the company-sponsored strippers. Ah advertising. :)
