Judging on the music video, I'd say this song is simply about how corrupt governments can become [are] and how they do not really care for us, but are using us to their advantage.
In the video there's a part with a man speaking on a podium, but being controlled by a twisted looking creature in the same fashion one would control a puppet, which literally means that the speaker is a puppet to someone elses' string -- a figurehead. As it zooms out there are two statues of owls, and if I'm not mistaken the owl is a prominent symbol for the 'New World Order', a theme which runs throughout the whole video.
Looking at the lyrics I can see it clearer now.
"I don't wanna be left out, or get fucked.
but there's a talent in your lies.
If you're chewing with an open mouth, raw meat,
your blood drool attracts the flies."
The government have a good way of covering up their tracks, don't they? They have a talent in lying to the people and telling them what they want to hear, so they no longer feel left out or neglected. Back to the video, it's really basically about the New World Order conspiracy.
In the beginning, creatures are taken straight from the womb and placed on a conveyer belt, and pills are fed to them and forced down with a bottle of something that has a poison symbol on it. The next time they are shown, they are being shown a TV, and their eyes are being removed. Their eyes being removed, to me, is showing how the government are leaving them literally blind to all the wrong they are doing, all the corruption they are spreading, and these creatures are not aware of this, because they are literally blind. No doubt what they are watching on the TV before their eyes are removed is propaganda for whatever government is in charge. Brainwashing.
Again, the next time we see them they are being given cigarettes, and not surprisingly the cigarettes are lit with a lighter in the shape of an OWL. I think the cigarettes pretty much resemble any luxuries, and the government are happy to dumb down the masses with whatever they wish as long as it will keep them quiet.
The demented Mickey Mouse is probably just a hint towards how governments (or at least the government in this video) have used a friendly figurehead to win the hearts of the people, and of course Mickey Mouse is completely innocent, but in regards to the governments sinister idea behind it all, Mickey's shown as a demon, while standing on the star of David.
At the end of the video, one creature manages to break free from the routine brainwashing, and finds a pair of eyes, giving him his sight back. This opens up his eyes, literally, and he sees what the government is doing. Out of the excitement he has for realising he could be free, or maybe just pure terror at what is happening, the little chap runs out of the building, hoping to see other people who have escaped the brainwashing like himself, but what does he find?
Nothing.
There is nothing to see.
The ending gives me two different interpretations. Either the government has taken away everything on the outside world and left nothing for anyone else, or there's been some sort of massive war fought between the government and an unknown other. Obviously it's caused so much destruction that the people who are being brainwashed are probably better off, in a dark sense, and happier that they do not know what is going on in the outside world.
Well, that's my two cents, but I'm 14 and I don't think I've got it all right, but it's my interpretation. :-)
