I was just disappointed to find out that he's actually saying "am I the "suck" in "cess"?" instead of "am I the sucking cess?" I thought he was asking himself if he's just another representative of the sucking cesspool that is society, and it just sounds more powerful that way. But I understand it goes along with the "Am I the "shall" in po-ten-tial" line before it, which I had also hoped (but doubted) said "Am I the Shaolin potential?" But I suppose I can still give those lines double meanings even if they weren't intended if they help me appreciate the song. As for the rest of it, I always thought the line "Oh isn't it nice /When your heart is made out of ice?" related back to the "sucking cesspool that is society" in its accusatory tone, condemning society and its keepers for their cold and callous ways.
