It sounds like they're trying to say something about the state of music today. So many people are making statements, shouting at the top of their lungs, that they're getting muddled instead of being seen as profound, and all these kids are being taught to follow along with this message in repetition, rather than formulate their own thoughts and grow as humans. The line:
"Covered your tracks, so how would you know
This ragamuffin wants to follow you home?"
makes me think of how the radio forces the stuff down your throat even when you make a conscious effort to avoid it. If that context is the theme of the song, everything else fits together perfectly.
