Actually, I'm kinda going on out on a limb, but I think this song is about Hollywood, or someone who makes scary pictures, like war movies or Jaws, etc.
I mean, the guy says he gets paid to make people scared. He even says it's a business that uses of focus groups. The line "Clearly entranced, you're leaning back now" makes me think of people in a movie theater leaning back to watch the screen, completely absorbed in the images they're seeing. Also the idea that you can watch something dangerous without ever really being in any danger. "Their lives need not be shortened."
