It feels like the song is about being unhappy with our present situation and not having the time or energy to change it. We work all week and can't do anything but sputter for 2 days in between. Most people end up drunk/high instead of fighting/warring for what they believe in. The singer flashes forward into a future and is coming to terms with living hand to mouth, which is easier than making things better. My generation carries this burden and most of us end up taking the easy way out, idealizing the break down of civilization instead of being creative and caring. All we have are predictions--which says something about our lack of volition and our disenfranchisement--and when all we do is talk about change we are cursed. We should fight the weekend wars and make the rest of the week bearable, but we have to work tomorrow.
