I always figured that the "narrator" was some back-country xenophobic hick that would try and downplay their own ignorance by playing up their "positive" side. Such as saying that "But they ain't good enough to breathe/ This towns good air we make 'em leave." but then try and contrast it by saying that their music is good so it means that there's nothing wrong going on.
Like a racist grandma. Sure she says some ridiculously malicious things about anyone who isn't white, but god damn her pies are good. Except, instead of an old lady it's an entire town. Kinda reminds me of Lynard Skynard in a way.
