This is a sarcastic ironic slamming of normal culture's perception of the modern spiritual seeker. It's saying why do they put us down when we're looking for the alternatives to their artificial war-driven society? It's also a crazy psychedelic electric bluegrass romp that's killer to dance to. I like to listen to Ian Dury's "Dance of the Crackpots" right after this tune.
