The album is thematic, with all the songs are about being under someone's–or something's control (with the possible exception of "Orion", which is an instrumental).
Only a couple of those songs speak of rebelling against control, namely "Welcome Home (Sanitarium)" and this song. So maybe "Damage Inc." is a kind of sequel to the earlier song. In "Sanitarium" the inmates have only started to rebel, while in "Damage, Inc." the rebellion is in full swing.
I've always wondered what "razorback" and "damage jackals" referred to but maybe that also lends itself to my theory; i.e. "Razorback" and "Damage Jackal" could be nicknames (thus, not "damage jackals ripping..." but "Damage Jackal's ripping...".
Just a wild guess, of course. I agree with the more general interpretations of this song too.
