For starters, I consider myself to be very bad at interpreting songs, so if this seems very off don't be a hater.
It seems to me like the song is about the war between "bad influences" and the people who fight against them, such as rock music and KISS who were protested by Christians and parent groups and whatnot, or Manson himself being protested by religious groups. The name is Arma...Geddon, a reference to the final battle between God and Satan, so this fits.
"First you try to fuck it, then you try to eat it, if it hasn't learned your name, you better kill it before they see it"
This seems to be setting up the imagery for abortion, but I don't think it's direcly referring to abortion. "First you try to fuck it" is like when protestors attempt to make what they're protesting against (like Manson) look horrible and try to influence people against it. "Then you try to eat it" could be how religious people use the existence of bad influences like Manson to rally people to their own cause. They're "eating it" to nourish themselves, or protesting against it to help their own cause. "If it hasn't learned your name, you better kill it before they see it" refers to when the bad influence fights back. It's like saying that you'd better totally discredit it and influence people against it before it speaks back and influences people towards its side, much like Manson has done with his fans.
"On the news, or is it in the noose" is like, "Are you really killing what your protesting against, or just putting it on the news and helping it become more famous and attract more fans?", which Manson has referred to before.
Other lryics in the song, for example "Satan girls gone wild, truly fuckin' suicidal" are saying what this Armageddon is, or is causing. Its what these bad influences are accused of causing, or maybe it's the armageddon itself thats causing it
"I want my lawyer, we've got a situation" could be referring to how people have attempted to take legal action against him, like being arrested for lewd conduct on stage, or people trying to get his concerts banned.
Overall, I think the song is describing the war between "good", like the religious and family-values people, and "evil", like rock-and-roll musicians and artists who go against "good". This is evidenced in the song title. The fact that its name Arma-Goddamn-Motherfuckin-geddon is stating that it's not the real armageddon (the war between God and Satan), but a man-made, contrived war between different influences.
If you think I'm way off and don't have a clue, then you can think that.
