Seems that "Divine Right" means divorce. That being divorce is a "right" that's divine, which is quite not true since most religions deem divorce as heathen. Contradictory wordplay, etc.
The lyrics seem to be talking about a failed marriage. Maybe not exactly failed, just crappy. The speaker constantly tells what he puts into the marriage "I can act like a dog if I adore my wife", "I can laugh like a fool", etc. But then he expresses things that contradict that he does care about the marriage "Make you clean the kitchen when the weather is sunny", "Drink and Gamble", etc.
Then he says "You just gotta be honest", which is the only thing he really does say about the wife. I'm guessing this song came from real life experiences, just because of that line. Anyway, then he blames himself "I just gotta be mean", probably implying that it might of been his job to keep his wife in check. However, later he says "Man is naturally mean" which might imply he maybe was mean to keep his wife in check and feels guiltly about it. Then he again makes a reference to being honest when he says "There's nothing to hide or we'll decede" so he's blaming the wife again because truth is the backbone of marriage and he justifies his actions because that's just how man is "Man is just a machine". Though, the speaker is probably not intentionally putting the blame on anyone, just telling the truth on how it is.
"In the end the truth will set us free", truth being that the marriage isn't working out and it's time for a divorce which will liberate them.
