"Love or leave her" is a frequent reply to someone who offers criticism (deserved or not) about a town, state or nation, in this case, Mizar 5. Yellow fever, here, refers to rampant infectious cowardice: You hate what you see going on around you, but, like everyone else, who feels the same, you hesitate to do or say anything about it for fear of losing everything, including your life. So, you stay and "play the game," contributing to the criminal enterprise, by your inaction.
In a final blast of contempt, the singer says, "So who are you? Just another scurvy brother." He means that you're just another worthless piece of scum, like the rest of us, here on Mizar 5.
When I hear this song, I think of that 70s sci-fi flick, Outland, with Sean Connery and Peter Boyle. But, in the movie, Connery's character refuses to turn a blind eye....
@reagan0 I hear the "scurvy brother" line as a brag about their services: when you came here you were notorious, hot, and wanted; when we're done laundering your identity you'll be just another worthless face in a crowd.
