I read somewhere that that was the whole point. Their label or manager complained that all of their songs were dull and depressing and why can’t they make something that’s chart friendly, so that’s what they did. If you listen to the lyrics while knowing the back story you can pretty much hear the sarcasm oozing from every syllable.
Not that I can find any reference to it now, of course, but that’s what I read/heard and it makes the song 10 times better.

Yeah, I could definitely imagine that. Still don’t really like it though :-)
