I know there are political references and pessimistic comments, but that's a given with Conor and I don't think that's what he's getting at here. He's talking about the time people waste working, and not focusing on the important things in life such as time with friends. I definitely agree with the person above who said so delicately Conor's just talking about "not having to put up with life's shit anymore." I love the line "You might escape to a condo on the cost" it shows how consumed people become with work, and how really we're lucky if we get away for a while. So clever. Anyways i'm rambling. Beautiful song, definitely nothing depressing about it...Although some of the messages are negative really he's just trying to make you think. I think that's all Conor really wants to do. Just lookin out for people. What a guy.

singingbug01 is spot on. love those lines.

also dont think its political but could be wrong think its more moral or social comments.
