I think this song is mostly talking about humanity in general, and how we are all conditioned by society more than we know. The part "they made us with the tool" refers to sex, because it is where we all come from, and it's the nature part of us, and the "taught us how to live" part is about being brought up and taught, the nurture part of humanity. If you don't already know, the part about "salivating at the sound of the bells" is reference to the experiments done by the psychologist Pavlov, in which he conditioned dogs to associate food with the ringing of a bell, and eventually he could cause them to salivate simply by ringing a bell. Overall, this is a very scary song when you think of all of the ways that the society we live in twists us to believe.
