Lyric discussion by MacKay 

I believe that this song is about how the media infulences the general public to follow them in all means necessary. Sometimes without the public even realizing. "They disguise it, Hypnotise it. Television made you buy it." And "I'm just sitting in my car and waiting for my girl" could simply mean they are saying that with all of this going on, there's nothing to do, but lead your own life. I believe that rather then him waiting for his "girl" as in girlfriend, he may be waiting for his daughter after school etc.

Actually, the part that he's just sitting in his car and waiting for his girl, that's what he was doing at the time he wrote the song. Otherwise, your interpretation is entirely right. I think that it's about how the media hypnotizes us, and that we realize things like this while doing something insignificant, like sitting in a car, waiting for someone to come back.

I think that ads convince you that buying a shiny car will get you a girl, and that's why he's waiting, even convincing himself (thus the repetition) that he did not waist his life studying and getting a good job and lots of money, though he subconsciously knows how his life is empty.
