I agree with most everyone above. However, I don't think the meaning of the song has much to do with coca-cola the drink or the company, other than it's a good fit lyrically and ties in to the coporate world.
To me, the core meaning of the song is an observation on being or becoming a career oriented person. I think the song describes the commitment required to being or becoming a high-power executive (or politician)...
ie. The money can be made if you really want some more
But often that commitment requires you to go against who you really are...
ie. Executive decision-a clinical precision
Jumping from the windows-filled with indecision
And that people lose themselves (their "life") in that world, and they resort to drugs to give them excitement or an escape from it...
ie. Coke adds life where there isn't any
I don't understand the last verse or the "freeze, man freeze" parts, the only thing I think is the subject of the song was sick of his whole work-drugs-work-drugs world and "went postal".
