A breakdown of the allegories used.
Everything is a very powerful reference to the arrival of communism and the state of the world after world war II. The gnome comes to power in the aftermath of attacks using the people's wish for safety as his "ticket" to steal their freedoms. In the section sung by the girls' father, he compares the people to cattle and there is an image of him cutting beef that has the images of money, homes and people on it as he sings that they've lost their dreams and ambitions. It ends with the people cheering on the girls the same as they cheered the gnome. This is showing that the people will celebrate any new regime that does away with the last regime, and are just as easily fooled by the new powers' promise of safety.
