I took the song to be about corrupt priests. It talks about confessionals and being blessed.
These priests simply look down on everybody and feel they are above the "average" people. The congregation is nothing but "trash" and "animals."
"Can't you hear the choir now? Listen to the animals sing." A comment on how ammused these priests are at the people singing hymns.
"Listen to the slaughter-house bells." Could be a reference to church bells.
"So we lower the bar" Could reference how the Catholic church has eased on many of its traditions in order to appeal to more people.
