The song is about how capitalism in a liberal democracy crushes the human spirit as it crushes the worker. You can't be an honest, intelligent person and not realize the brutal anti-worker, anti-human, greed-based history of capitalism. It is simply undeniable. The song ends with the dismayed narrator wishing to go to a place that recognizes and values the human soul.
