He's saying that too many people are concerned with superficial things.

It about life: disatisfaction, hopelessness, consequences... This is an amazing song and it's the best MGB song ever.

I think this song is trying to say that everything is at our fingertips, everything is fast-paced, everything is disposable. And then media comes in with its, "Everything's alright, kids. Nothing to worry about because we live in North America" attitude.

This came from poem he wrote. "Of all the things I’ve thrown down while on the road, I remember this piece of crap the most. I wrote it while consuming crepes in Quebec City a day after playing a show there (to all of ten people). It was one of those things that you write when you’ve come to the end of your rope and the only thing that’s keeping you going is the fact that you can’t remember how to stop. From it came Everything Is Automatic and Invasion 1. " he says about the poem.
