To me this song is about the music industry. Those on the golden throne would be the record label, and the band is the one with the broken hands from working (playing, touring, etc.). He's tithing by making music, but feels that it's not real, hence the paltry pittance that he must give to them based on contracts. Man, I love this album. These guys are still good so many years after starting the whole scene that seems to have slunk back into the underground. (thank god!)
It's "pittance" not advantage.
