I think that this song is about how one life is no different than any other. A very negative existential point of view. It's important to note that a cockroach is a prehistoric insect that has been around forever just doing the same thing and just won't go away. He's saying that everyone is just "Doin the Cockroach" and just living for years and years never really changing what they're doing. When he says,
This one's a doctor
This one's a lawyer
This one's a cash feed
He's expressing that all these people are no different than eachother because life is meaningless and they're all going to end up in the same place.
the first line,
was in heaven
I was in hell
Believe in neither
But fear them as well
This shows that he is unsure of the existence of these but tries to live as if they exist. This is an existential view that further proves that he believes life is meaningless.
I could go in more detail about the lyric with the years and the lyric when he says "he's not listenting" but it would basically be rehashing what I've already stated.
