I think that this song is about how American society is defined today. Things are what define society today. Making, buying, selling, etc. In first world countries life is all about working for someone in order to make a living. This is not what life is all about though. The citizens of these nations are bred from a young age to be the corporations "work horses". Developing nations know far better than we do what life is about. They work and provide for themselves and their own families rather than an employer. Coffee is a stimulant designed to make the workers (slaves to corporations really) work at their peak performance. Aesop sees past these things and observes as society is unknowing used by corporations and administered coffee in order to do their will.
