Honestly I think this is one of those songs that has no specific meaning, any idiot can guide a nation with a microphone *cough george bush cough*, splitting an atom is a step in creating an atomic bomb, you can run a business and make people want to buy your product with propaganda, making a computer survive aquatic conditions and an engine that runs 64 miles to the gallon is all about our technology, guiding a missile through satallite and hitting that target through a telescope in a way could be the start of a nuclear holocaust. Honestly even though it's never said in the song. I think this song should be called humanity, it'll save a lot of people from thinking to hard.
