I as well wish there were more comments on this song.

I've always thought this song was about someone waking up the day after binging on drugs - probably heroin. But there are also a lot of references here to government control. I believe there is something here having to do with keeping political radicals on drugs so that they have less political motivation. I just wish I knew what the line about selling you smack at slightly different rate was all about. I assume that it's another reference to the government, but I want more details.
