Aside from the obvious interpretation, I think this song is what the world is coming to when everyones head is filled with "selfish pride", and how people are so afraid of losing everyday, petty things, we may forget we're losing the greatest thing of all: ourselves. The fight hes taking about is a fight between humbleness and vanity. When he says
"And if it all works out, There won't be a doubt at all
You're heading for the boiling water" He means if he overcomes the other guy who represents the greed and vanity of the world, there could be a positive outcome for everyone. But if in the worst case scenario if the other guy wins, he instead says"we're heading for the boiling water" as in everyone and everything, good and evil.
