It describes a sense of disillusionment and frustration with the world around the protagonist. They feel lost and directionless, and they also feel resentment towards those who hold power, who sit at their tables and throw scraps at the rest of the world. The line "For Christ's sake leave me something" expresses a sense of desperation and anger towards those who hold power and wealth. The use of the phrase "the flick of a switch" gives the idea that people can be easily controlled and manipulated, with their very existence erased at the whim of those in power.
The repeated line, "There must be something wrong boys," adds a sense of emphasis and frustration. That something is not right in the world is repeated, highlighting the protagonist's sense of unease and discomfort with their surroundings. The closing line, "You either swim or you drown," expresses a sense of urgency and the idea that people must either fight against the current or be pulled under. The song seems to be a commentary on the state of the world and the feelings of powerlessness and frustration that many people feel when faced with the inequalities and injustices of the world.
