This song is about the flaws of civilization, but also about how we can't really do anything about it because nature just points us in the same direction.

"So we burned all our uniforms And let nature take its course again And the big ones just eat all the little ones That sends us back to the drawing board"

This verse talks about going back to the natural order and shedding all signs of civilization, but then it doesn't work because it all comes down to survival of the fittest.
