There's a strong argument to be made that it's about satanism in the music industry, and even references to communism ("And while Lennon read a book of Marx, a quartet practiced in the park.")

"As the flames climbed high into the night, to light the sacrificial rite, I saw Satan laughing with delight.." "And the three men I admired most, the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost, they caught the last train for the coast.." "So come on Jack be nimble, Jack be quick, Jack Flash sat on a candlestick 'Cause fire is the devil's only friend. Oh and as I watched him on the stage My hands were clenched in fists of rage. No angel born in Hell, could break that Satan's spell." "And in the streets the children screamed, the lovers cried and the poets dreamed. But now a word was spoken, the church bells all were broken.."

This is all nothing if you aren't keen to the likely possibility that the music industry is a satanic industry. It goes beyond just this song. When you look at the symbolism they place onto these artists, in their videos, their photo shoots, the lyrics of the songs themselves. I'll leave it at this, to me it's no coincidence that the music industry, along with Hollywood, have been the biggest pushers of degenerate, violent, sexually depraved music that has all specifically targeted our youth for multiple generations.
