I always interpreted the song as about the prison system, as others have mentioned and assumed that "Repeater" was a reference to repeat offenders. And the "1,2,3" part either refers to the revolving door of a prison system with a a sky-high recidivism rate, or (2) the three-strikes laws that have been proven to be utter failures (and struck down by the Supreme Court last year for good measure).

The title Repeater is a play on The Beatles' album Revolver. Instead of revolution we have repetition.
