I think the key to this song lies with this lyric: "Oh you know it's just a game to me" There are some ancient religions who view life as a game. So this seemingly unholy view of the world is actual spiritual in nature which is why he's says he's got too much soul for the world.
How he plays the game is he stays light and tells people what they want to hear adhering to the path of least resistance "I do anything that I'm told to
I even mean it, if i'm supposed to"
...but he knows the truth: "It's time to use my life, for myself, Those people just won't tell you that"
"But I can't even talk to you 'bout my effect on people 'cause i'm doin' the same thing to you
That's right even right now" This is a great line where he tries to see if other people will understand him but of course people won't.
