The first two paragraphs of the lyrics reminds me of 'lord of the flies' in the last part where the schoolboys started killing each other due to differences and distrust. maybe it's a social comment of the kind of society that we live in today - not just in literally killing each other, but also how competetive we all are, especially in the colonised part thanks to the phrase "dog eat dog". maybe these are the workers or the underdogs of society.
And then, the song goes on to a related issue from:
We sluts, we have, fattened and ripened in these LA castles.
Wihy did they use the word slut and castle? To me, slut connotates giving in to the whole give-it-to-me kind of lifestlye, immoral, free etc. As for castle, I think it supports the idea of the underdogs or the 'peasants' working in the 'dog eat dog' world for those who live in 'castles' - people in the upper class, people with status and power and who don't have to face the whole 'cannibalistic' (not literally) world out there. That's the first part of the song that I get.
I'm not sure about the second part, but at first I thought that they were talking about internet dating? I think overall, maybe FBtMoF is reinforcing their social comments on the kind of society that we live in - the idea of weddings, monogamy, love and divorce like:
Secretaries now make great lovers.
And lastly I think the whole repitition thing with the words:
Tou can’t buy love. You can’t sell feelings.
Sounds like a march protest and that image is reinforced when you have other guys shouting the last two lines of that paragraph
