The hypothetical Sanity Assassin is someone who people have closed minded views about, "Keeps your fat paranoia well fed", so he plays off those fears and messes with those who deserve to be. Kind of like a gay guy coming onto a homophobe.
I think this is sort of about the post punk/goth culture back in the early 80s, in a sense. Most of these lyrics are exaggerations of how people see those who don't fit in with their world view.
Shock those who deserve to be shocked.
If I'm right, this song has a real Rock'n'Roll philosophy to it.
I think this is a sort of political song.
