The first 30 seconds of that song drums up memories of Jackass and the world (for me personally at least) that existed in such a specific and small window of time. Right after the turn of the century and right before descending into a post 9/11 nightmare. That sliver of optimism because it was "the future" and I wasn't old/aware enough to have witnessed any other hellworld events.
Then the rest of the song is about the poverty of the global south (specifically Mexico in the 80's) and their struggle... and just.. contrasting that with the first bit?
I dunno, it stirs up something really fundamentally sad inside my chest.
