This song is hilarious social commentary. Hard to boil it down. I like the line- "Now that they got everything they'd like to sell you some". Once again this is about the Money Masters (See my comment on "Poison Trees") and how they manipulate things for their own gain, "cause everything in sight's got to be sold". This is an apocalyptic vision with a comical tone. "The world is a car and you're the crash test dummy" "really is kinda funny". It's about the herd mentality and the insanity of the modern world and how things are going to hell in a hand-basket (but don't take it too seriously), just stay "uncomfortably numb" by taking the pills they keep telling you to take on TV. That way you'll be easier for them to manage. The Owners of America want obedient workers, as George Carlin said. Just go to work and shop and don't think about what's going on.
