Suprised no one's noted the meaning of this song which I thought was reasonably well known/clear. Its about vivsection. The growing lips and peeled eyes are of animal experiments, as are the "full board in new quarters" (presumably a cage in a lab).

"TV doesn't understand a word that matters" I think refers to the word vivisection in this case. Its a bit hard to google "wire ahead" to get a refernce, but I know I read it somewhere.
