The eerie line hits you "There's no time to cry" and the way they sing so enthusiastically and cry "love me, love me" tells me it's not sarcastic or political but rather a call to others to let him/her live their life that everyone else takes for granted. One thing I do know that when I hear it I Smile all the way through!!!!</span></p>
