wow! This song is brilliant, just read the lyrics again, while listening to the song. "All this machinery making modern music..." is obviously refering to the rave and electronica culture, yet they show some form of respect by singing "...can still be open-hearted." Philosophic_Musings and chibiweav are both 100% correct: this song is about the music industry, heartfelt music etc. Great song.
@inactive account Rave and electronica culture were not a thing back in 1980. The line was likely a reference to synthesizers, which had been in mainstream modern music for around a decade, or it’s a reference to radio broadcasting equipment.

I agree, however, this song is from the 70's, so the electronica you speak of wasn't as developed as now...
