YO Yo yo: I think all of the different takes on Wonderful Life are probably valid to some degree-- I think if we just think of the scope of the song as all-inclusive, it all works... I think maybe the song is about the modern human condition (the wonderful life we've been told it is) in general, hitting on different aspects of said life in different parts of the song-- drugs, violence, lack of natural anything, isolation in this digital age .
