Lord kill the pain
Don't want to ask you again
Kill my girlfriend
And kill my best friend Sam
Cause I saw them making eyes again
Lord kill the pain
Don't want to ask you again
Kill my neighbors
And all my family too
They doubt my direction
Lord let it rain
Don't want to ask you again
Drown my country
Drown everyone but me
So I can live peacefully
Or put me to sleep here
And wake me in Japan
I want to speak a new language
Drop me a line and pull me out
But do not find me
Amongst dead underground
Let me hear the whining sound
Of a pig drown
And lead me over summery hill
To a place I like to think about
And sedate me with Tylenol pills
Oh how I love to dream about
Drop me a line and pull me out
But do not find me
Amongst life on the ground
Let me see the burning down
Of my home town
Lord kill the pain
Don't want to ask you again
Kill my girlfriend
And kill my best friend Sam
Cause I saw them making eyes again
Lord kill the pain
Don't want to ask you again
Kill my neighbors
And all my family too
They doubt my direction
Lord let it rain
Don't want to ask you again
Drown my country
Drown everyone but me
So I can live peacefully
Or put me to sleep here
And wake me in Japan
I want to speak a new language
Drop me a line and pull me out
But do not find me
Amongst dead underground
Let me hear the whining sound
Of a pig drown
And lead me over summery hill
To a place I like to think about
And sedate me with Tylenol pills
Oh how I love to dream about
Drop me a line and pull me out
But do not find me
Amongst life on the ground
Let me see the burning down
Of my home town
Lord kill the pain

I don't think it's a "piss take," I just think hyperbole/exaggeration/overreaction/whatever. I think it just uses that to emphasize on the themes of isolation and not always being able to relate well with the ones closest to you. The narrator wants a fresh start.
Well, there's something about his voice and the way he pus songs together that makes him seem deadly serious, but I find it very hard to take these lyrics at all seriously.
