I always thought that this song was about gays/lesbians and how they face difficulties with society. They are comparing homosexuals to monkeys because that is how some people see them.
That would explain lines like "honest psychos don't need healing" (gays shouldn't be taught to be straight) And "Monkeys will live in prison" (its an exaggeration of the lack of rights and acceptance gays have). "Love for everyone and anguish for monkeys" would also fit this theory. Monkeys/gays are not allowed to love. (again, its an exaggeration).
Does that make sense? That is always how I took it.
