This is one of the first songs they made together and they obviously wanted to show what the band was all about. Part of showing the decline of a society is to first focus on one issue (animal testing and cruelty; this is where they got their name) and then branch out from there to view the rest as a whole.
Ogre sees the world progressing into devastation and it's not taking any steps back (also showing how despite our progress we're still just as odious and beastial as the caveman or the very animals men test "man in motion/going nowhere"), and he hates it so much, he wants to be locked away from it. But all one really can do in order to keep from dying is to adapt, or be assimilated, but I'm not sure that's what they're going to accept by the very concept and feeling that this song gives off.
I'll agree with what most of Darkmoose is saying. I'm a long time Puppy fan. Ogre is awesome! Both on the music stage and on the movvie stage! (Repo! The Genetic Opera) Now, for Ogre's answer to what to do about the assimilation, he says it at the end of the song.
"Reach for an airway.

Basically, with everything pressuring people to belong in today's society, the only way one could possibly breathe, is to die. Not saying he's telling everyone to commit suicide, but he's saying that we need to break away from the cycle of "Rotting, or assimilating." We need to break away dependence on the factories and work to a higher purpose. As of this point, as Ogre sees it, is that all the 'progress' we've done as a society has only been to live and grow. Hence the bit about going no where. So yeah..Awesome song.
