Ok, so Eat the Elephant seems to be a beautiful critique to the current society, or of course to expose societal problems... I partially agree with the comment of @Ozziedaveon, however, I do believe the issue is wider. In my opinion, the song is about mass shootings and terroristic attacks happening around the world... and how people in power, celebrities, popes, etc., just send their thoughts and prayers after some terrible thing has happened...
I do believe "While you deliberate Bodies accumulate" targets more someone like a politician... however, it can be anybody in general...
Of course, the final message of the song is instead of sending your "adorable" thoughts and prayers do something about it! Or, or, or how MJK puts it, "Try walkin' your talk or get the fuck out of my way!".
@Sibuna I agree, But i would suggest that it is even wider.
I Think it's not just about Mass shootings or terrorist attacks, but rather all terrible things; Natural Disasters, Famine, War, Death, Outbreaks of disease, Global Warming.
It's about acting on these things instead of changing your profile picture on facebook, to go help people in need, or to donate to the causes instead of just sitting and talking about how horrible it is, and sending your "Thoughts and prayers".

@Sibuna People just love acting holier than thou and patting themselves on the back! Especially on social media with a the look at me I'm such a good person bs posts while they literally are just sitting on their asses and not helping anyone except themselves to boost their own ego. It's pathetic! It's basically a song about politicians and even most of society to shut up and let people be free. If your going to complain about a problem then shut your mouth and do something about it. If not then just shut up and get out of my...
