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!".
