That song is about WW 3 with the arab world where a line is drawn in the sand. The 'Wichita" is really 'Which Ayatollah"

I am a lineman for the county. And I drive the mainroad. Lookin' in the sun for another overload. County is a metaphor for the larger world The Lineman is the environmentally astute and enlightened person, looking for problems caused by global warming (hence the reference to the "sun"). I hear you singing in the wire. Chorus 1 I can hear you thru the whine. And the Wichita Lineman, is still on the line. This speaks to how the environmentally astute and enlightened person is in touch with the earth, and is aware ("hear you through the whine") of the pain inflicted on it by the wicked neocons. I know I need a small vacation. But it don't look like rain. And if it snows that stretch down south, won't ever stand the strain. Anoother reference to global warming and the strain it places on the environmentally astute and enlightened person. And I need you more than want you. Chorus 2 And I want you for all time. And the Wichita Lineman, is still on the line. This speaks for the yearning the environmentally astute and enlightened person has for the earth as it was, say, in 1955, before global warming.
