An obvious jab at America, a country that's obsessed with climbing the corporate latter and blindly following religion. Amazing that this song is from 1993-94 and perhaps relates to the world NOW better than it did when it was written. And everyone said alternative rockers were crazy and didn't know what they were talking about.

The only thing left to do is have apathy because no one else gives a damn either - unless you become brainwashed too. This is basically what Cornell is trying to say.

It might sound extremely stubborn, but you have to understand where he's coming from - a world that doesn't care.
