I agree that there is a reference to the cocaine in CocaCola, but I don't think that's what the whole song is about. You could hardly call the reformers of the temperance movement "party girls." I think it's just to demonstrate the lengths that corporations wilil go to make a profit. |

I think this song could be about the miracle of life.
"And that's how the world began/And that's how the world will end"

I find the line, "I'm happy just because/I found out I am really no one." really comforting. You don't need to be the best, or the greatest. It may seem like a lot is expected of you, but you are really just a drop in the ocean. You're life in unimportant: enjoy it.
I liked jvenrick's point that talking in every telephone could be about getting caught up with stupid goals. That part confused. But I disgree with you that the preacher line is a metaphor. It think it's really just about his dislike of religous figures promising hell. |

About "then it's the bomb," my interpretation was that if they don't have love, the only thing bringing them together is violence, and that would be a horrible thing. |
