It has always seemed to me to be about how the working-class have always been perceived and this song is a bit of a self-referential thing to that, as in a retort to those perceived ideas - a bit of a "you don't understand us at all" kind of thing going on, so they are parodying what the middle and upper classes think of us. As in, your ideas about us are these things, therefore we have a template that we act upon - but oh boy are you so fucking wrong. The mere fact that this song is written and articulated belies their whole notions of the working-class - it's a retort against the whole ideas about us.
