I think what he might talking about is how superficial our society as whole has become. Wasting our time working for a boss that couldn't give two shits about your existence as long as you're helping the corporation maximize its profits.
"Look around and ask someone if you're alive,
You're a sidewalk cipher speaking prionic jive."
Spending most your time working breaking your back for someone else's gain prohibits an individual from spending his/her time doing something has gives meaning to their existence. This is why I think he says:
"I give you me, I give you nothing"
I have nothing of value or substance to justify my existence. Having put forth this idea he tells the listener : 'Ask yourself again "do I deserve much from them", no!' Live your life for yourself not for someone else's gain. You only live once. It's great social commentary.
