Sixteen Military Wives

I think this song is about the social order of people in Amreica. The order of the lyrics make me believe they are trying to say something about the social chain in America. "Fourteen cannibal kings, Wondering blithely what the dinner bell will bring, Fifteen celebrity minds, Served on a leafy bed OF sixteen military wives" The cannibal kings are at the top, and is probably reffering to th government. Then there are celebrities below them, and the rest are the "leafy bed"
