Looking for the land of plenty, the Pilgrim Fathers gave the English the flick ('Birdie in the hand for life's rich demand') and set themselves up in the New World ('I looked for it and I found it, Miles Standish proud, congratulate me') bringing their Calvinist beliefs ('Let's begin again like Martin Luther Zen") and practices ('A philanderer's tie, a murderer's shoe') with them, which formed the basis for a political system ('the mythology begins the begin') based on unthinking submission ('Follow the leader, run and turn into butter', 'Silence means security, silence means approval') and the power of the wealthy elite ('supply in the hand of the powers, the only vote that matters').
Hence, I think the title's a reference to a beginning which was in many ways a continuation.
