Lyric discussion by batkins 

It's all about Citizen Kane. The part about true love is sung by the band during Kane's party in the Everglades. The bit about oil wells and shipping and being everything you hate is spoken by Kane when he loses his empire. His second wife speaks the lines about "you gotta love me." The "There is a man..." part is taken verbatim from a song about Kane sung in the movie.

But "shure"? What the hell? There's no 'h' in 'sure.' Also, it's traction MAGNATES, not magnets.
