I thought this song was about Nuclear Annihilation and the "Doomsday Clock". The doomsday clock is a device used to illustrate the threat of nuclear arms and other things of destroying the human race/causing major upset. The arms are moved closer to the hour to illustrate greater threat and moved further from the hour to show lower threat.
Just recently it was altered so that Global Warming and the environment was included. That was after the release of The Eraser though so I think it's about nuclear threats and the Iraq war and how politicians throw money at the problem and "make a wish" that it sorts itself out.
I love this song. So true. I love the whole album, it makes me shudder. I wanna play it full blast to the world and see the effect it has, which according to the lyrics of other songs, would be negligable. Such a pity. Start doing something about it!
