This song pertains to man's instinct to ask question or doubt..being cynical on something isnt totally bad at all but is an inept desire to know what is the universal truth we can all agree with.As a children we've been gullible enough to believe what our parents or elders tells us about something,or the supposed 'truths',as we age and gain knowledge and experience,we must shrug our child-like credulity and embrace what is logical and sound.Unfortunately many grown adults still retains theirs'..Graffin is simply giving us hints on showing others a healthy cynicism and questioning authority which has always been to me a foremost punk ethic.

This is great song for anyone who loves to analyze problems, or look at the realistic side of things. What Greg is saying here, is that if you look at any historically held idea, and see it through a cynics eyes, you'll see just how absurd it really is. Of course putting a shooting star in your pants will cause them to burst into flames. I think he wants to convey the message that, while people might view you as a total pessimist and skeptic, at least you'll be able to say you can think for yourself and realize that a lot of the conclussions people have come to over the years, regarding anything, are ridiculous.

I believe I can interpret this one seeing as no one else has. This song seems to be saying that you can't always be happy go lucky, but you at least every so often have to let out your inner cynicality. Now I could be wrong but I feel this song should be interpreted.
