The song is basically about them when Ivan was still their manager. They were caged, like dancing monkeys. People stared, and talked, and laughed. They weren't free. They were told what to do, what to say, all they had was their best friend to share the torture with. To me 'monkey zero' means more along the lines of 'some worthless thing to amuse you, to make you laugh'.
