To me, this particular Men at Work song is actually about a successful rich high society guy who, out of curiosity, wants to see how those on the outside of society live. The line of "Tell my secretary I ain\'t taking any calls" is a dead giveaway here. Soon, by the end of the song, he wants to get back to his old life and be the successful rich high society guy that he is because he now sees how fortunate he is having all that he has, but still, he is pretty sympathetic to those outsiders, who are the "Untouchables" in this particular song. It has a certain laughable silliness to it.

@FrankNFNY "Tell my secretary I ain\'t takin\' any calls" is sarcastic.
