In "Gotta Eat," he compares the life of living on the street and making ends meat ("getting cheese", "eating", "seeds", etc) to a fast food restaurant.
In Gotta Eat, he characterizes a hamburger as a supervillian that's going around and making America obese. he was taking a jab at the fast food industry.

You also forgot to mention the whole "Cool" storyline that covers a few tracks in the middle. I think he should've just made the entire album a concept album.

My favorite track is Streets on Fire. I'm still trying to figure out that song. Streets is Cool's girlfriend but is she on fire as in on a streak of killing people. There's a part when he says different people are the causes of the deaths. bah
I have to listen to it more to figure it out.
