I think this is a pretty clear post apocalyptic reference and also an eerie type of Illuminati reference. Don't believe me, let's get started and prepare to cross-reference with Google before shooting this down.
a) post-Babylonian references - in the bible (Revelations) it is prophesied that Babylon will rise again and it will be a modern cesspool of moral depravity
b) before the "star of the morning" comes looking for me. Again, in the end times, biblically speaking, the "star of the morning" is the antichrist - who is prophesied to emerge and bring on this new age. Lucifer is also referred to as the sun or star of the morning.
c) ride around on a horse knee-deep in blood? Need I say more?
d) before they put me to work in a government camp - again, I don't even need to explain this but it relates to what many think is the plot of the New World Order or Illuminati
e) before "the beast" looks for rent. The beast is a clear-cut reference to Lucifer.
f) "Last year's rent" often we see references to celebrities or powerful people giving up their soul or freedom for a position of power or fame to the Illuminati - pray for Father John Misty that he is not referencing himself in this song but rather sarcastically referencing other more prominent celebrities.
