A kingmaker is someone who is influential in determining who will be a choice for political leader, the power behind the power, but it doesn't sound like the song is talking about that. The song paints a picture of corruption, apathy, and degradation. It sounds like "I want to be the king, kingmaker" means the person wants to feel powerful and be able to get what he wants and make things happen. The lyrics sound like a critique of the state of things and single-minded materialism and hedonism.
