That quote is the basic meaning. The song is also about comparing work to slavery and also about how we've accepted having to work just to live in our society ("Consequences we have paid to be free in a world we've made"). It's like if we didn't work, we wouldn't be able to live, but we still regret it.
I'm a bit disappointed how the lyrics on the booklet don't match the ones in the song, these lyrics are missing a line and the final verse.
