Fast Cars - lyrical meanings??

[pop marter]

I love this song, its so fresh and original but I 'm wondering if anyone has a take on the lyrics? I'm tempted to say theres actually no specific meaning??

Confusion in a postmodern society, though I'm sure someone's gonna bring up anti-western elements, which I suppose is justified. But I think the song has more scope than just "War on Iraq was a bad idea."
