1. the song is about government and oppression. "The men at the factory are old and cunning." I draw a line between the old men and leaders and the factory is the representation of government or institutionalized power of some sort. The term "the clampdown" could refer to authority as a whole.
2. The tempo of the song remains fairly steady throughout but speeds up during the stanza about the men at the factory, seeming to suggest more stress on these cunning men.
3. The term "twisted speech" caught my eye and made me think of propaganda. The speech is still speech but it is altered by being twisted, similar to how propaganda has a face value meaning but is slightly different, twisted if you will.
