This song is about a terminally ill patient wanting to finally die of lethal injection: "Doc, I'm dying, I feel compromised," "I want that shot to enter my veins." A Brompton Cocktail mix is morphine, heroine, cocaine and some other ingredients they give to terminally ill patients to ease pain. So that's the core definition of the song, however I believe at their (much less literal) essence the lyrics really speak to figuring out an alternative, civilized means of putting an end to any kind of long term disabling, inhumane type situation.
