Well I think it relates to the book 1984 by George Orwell, in which the Thought Police liquidate those who are deemed guilty of "Thoughtcrime". Zappa is drawing parelells between the conformity of 1960's America and Orwell's dystopian nightmare...

also, one possible interpretation would be that the first line "What will you do if we let you go home?" could be a police interrogation and the abrasive middle section, in which the line "I think I'm gonna die" is repeated, mimics torture.
