The meaning of the song is fairly straightforward, it's protesting against people who exploit the poor and helpless.
He understands that he himself is well-off in life "my cup's already overfilled" but refuses to exploit others to become any more wealthy.
So basically, the first stanza says it all:
"I don't mind stealin' bread
From the mouths of decadence -
But I can't feed on the powerless
When my cup's already over-filled"
