I think this song is about the feelings a rock band front man may feel.
"When the inner energy pollutes my soul with selfish needs" - Maybe a star taking themselves a bit too seriously, getting caught up in their own hype.
"We'll change the world how we want to, we'll change the world inside you
You changed the world, you changed the world," - The arrogance of a rock star, thinking they can change the world alone, that feeling of importance.
The whole "burn the action" may be some sort of description of the craziness and din of some gigs, especially being such a high energy and aggressive band as Biffy are.
I think they're kindof saying that it bands need to be down to earth about their status, but also expressing how empowering being a rock band is to an individual. More of an amused observation than an attack on rock bands I think. Plus I'm sure performed live the fans love it and go crazy, mirroring the topic the song's based on.
I might be wrong, but that's the general impression I get from the lyrics + mood of it.
Also the first line could be from a rock star who just wants to live in the moment, in their own hype. They want to ignore what their life style is doing to them and just embrace the energy and passion of their gigs. I could be wrong again, but Biffy are precariously vague in their lyrics, sometimes even nonsensical XD
