Lyric discussion by bluelemon70 

In general I agree with the other posters; the song has a few different subtexts all woven together with cocaine being the common theme:

  • modern multinationals pushing products on consumers through advertising and hooking us like they're selling drugs
  • the execs of these companies, the wall street yuppies, the world leaders, all actually being ON cocaine, feeding their own habit by fleecing everyone else
  • the brilliant reference to Coca-Cola's history of actually using cocaine to hook customers to tie it all together.

The last line of the chorus ("freeze, man, freeze") and the last verse about the snub-nose .44 don't seem to fit at first, but they do make sense. The way I see it, he's saying you're getting robbed by coke-heads either way, whether one is coming through your door with a pistol, or you're paying for some product because advertising told you to. Every commercial you see is telling you to freeze and give up your money.
