I think this song is about a lot of the bands that are popular right now.
"we're the ones who you paid to see a piece of my soul for your money
and it's my job, to smile while pigs feast
swallows slop out of the head of a crooked priest"
This is blatantly talking about how EOTC play music from their heart and soul for a few bucks, while they have to sit and smile while kids are really just out there worshipping bands like Boys Like Girls and Forever The Sickest Kids.
"a monster you sell is things like hell
and they know not to ask, think or tell"
Selling shitty music and destroying everything that the word integrity stands for, and the "they" is referring to the kids who listen to that music and how they don't search for any deeper meaning, or question anything. They pretty much take whatever is plopped down in front of them and eat it right up. The rest of that part seems pretty self explanatory.
The chorus pretty much seems to be calling out the genre as a whole and telling them that it's time to move on, because the sons they're selling are empty and very fragile. The last line obviously being a slam on those bands, telling them that they are indeed very forgettable.
I'd do the rest of the song, but I think I've made my point haha.
