This song is about sex (like many of Devo's songs).
Specifically, the penis shriveling up after it has done it's thing :)
There are a tonne of little hints:
-the music sounds like it is "coming down" - the whole song is a denouement
-the drip drip drip sound
-"you can't go back" - after you come, you're done
-"buy 'em by the sack" - yes also a White Castle reference, but the topic of this song also comes by "the sackful"
-"can't get pissed" or you won't get it up
-"may be just another rap / but you're running out of sap" is pretty obviously on this theme
-"it's a god-given law that / you're gonna get small" clear enough

@Meatbomb -- Yeah I agree. I've always thought all of this too.
