The lyrics of the rest of the song aren't that great

 Strapped in the chair of the city's gas chamber
     Why I'm here, I can't quite remember
The Surgeon General says it's hazardous to breathe
           I'd have another cigarette
But I can't see, tell me who you're gonna believe

        Take me down to the Paradise City
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty

So either the chorus is pure sarcasm, or his day to day to life is so unbearable that he genuinely wishes to go back to a time/place where the grass is green, and a time when he was still attracted to women

The chorus is a vision of an ideal world while the verse is a picture of harsh reality. It points out the fallacy of the American dream.
