A constant theme of the song is societal brainwashing/being a slave to society ('Treated like a sheep/Don't blame me for all the years/That you were asleep', for example). It seems to me that the chorus represents a sort of societal brainwashing ('Obey my demands'), especially via mass media ('Televised mass poison') and religion ('Relax/God is in control' and 'Powdered God in a bag/From the Vatican'). The song is heavy with religious imagery as well cannibalism/evolution - the two seem to be entwined, which makes me think it's more about predators than either of those two things.
Overall, I think it is about how the weak are slaves to society, food for those in control, who manipulate the weak through devices like mass media and religious authority.
