In my opinion, this song has a great deal to do with the hypocrisy of the music industry. "the glass hidden in the grass" tends to lean toward the pain of trying to "make it" in the music industry. With lines that talk about "syphon your dough" may very well be talking about how much $$ a record lable takes from the artist and how they tend to keep artists as novelties by kneeling and praying that the artist's contract,"long may it last", keep him bound to distress.
