This careless interpretation (if you can even call it that) completely misrepresents the meaning of the original work. It represents the idea of using a delicate touch to handle something with the idea of punching it like a child would instead. As another song by them put it:
“Don’t feed the people
But we feed the machines”


Possibly?
TBH, I’ve never really thought about the reference much. But if someone asked me yesterday before I read another comment on this thread explaining it …
I very well may have guessed a kid wearing gloves.
