Queen, like a lot of the best rock, was largely about escapism. The songs were BIG enough to make you forget your troubles for a while.
They did have a few songs that had something to say, above love songs, but somethign like, say, Bicycle Race (even Bohemian Rhapsody), you just got swept up in the ridiculousness of it.
They actually weren't at their best when they did try and make a statement. Which was generally War Is Bad or Don't Kill Yourself. They just didn't have the subtelty.
