Just basically based on the spin that the media uses when dealing with politics, to keep your mind off the real issues affecting americans. Why did Monica Lewinsky save the dress and tie? Why does Pat Robertson get away with the things he says and they're only covered for a day or two and swept under the rug? This song is about being an independent thinker and not falling for everything our government and the news media have to say, especially when they don't live amongst common people.
