"Bad ape you made a mistake
Annihiliation in a cannibal-war" - ape made the mistake of invading a country without real proof of anything, and so what does he do when he realizes this mistake? annihilate the people there.
"if you had called that fucker by it's name" - it's name is murder.
"if you had called that fucker by it's name" if it was recognized as murder, Ape/ man, would realize what he is doing is ultimately wrong.
This song, to me, screams War in Iraq/Bush.
