Mark said in an interview (talking about a lost demo of "DEVO Corporate Anthem" that originally had the same lyrics as "Chango") that they tried to send a demo of this to Idi Amin (Dictator of Uganda at the time), but they (obv) never got a response.
The message they paired with the tape was, something along the lines of, "this should be your new theme song!", so I guess this song is truly about Idi Amin? Search up more on him if you don't know about him, interesting guy.
Aside from that, the interpretation by karritevoyager that is probably somewhere below this comment is my favorite non-Idi Amin-explanation.
