This song is pure gold, for the simple reason that it is just blunt and to the point and the humor in it makes me laugh every time I hear it. Even though the fans expect Neil to be arty and clever, I like the contrast here, and it is funny that so many people think this is dumbed down for Neil, when in essence it is a statement about the general public's gullibility to keep buying what is being sold to them without question.
