I find it ironic that the general media, used this as an upbeat happy song without going into what the lyrics were about. I know my local radio station and the Daily Record(Scottish national paper) used it for radio ads. This song is about dreaming of revolution and thinking it will improve things but realising in reality nothing will change. The reference:
Wealth re-distribution, became the new solution
So I got a paper bag, but you got the one with all the holes
I think is in reference to the Russian revolution and communism promising things will get better but they didn't
