"I'd sell your heart to the junkman baby
For a buck, for a buck
If you're looking for someone to pull you out of that ditch
You're out of luck, you're out of luck"
Shows are people are becoming more and more heartless.
"Ship is sinking
The ship is sinking
The ship is sinking"
The ship is a metaphor for the world, and it's going down hill, or in this case, it's "sinking."
"God's away, God's away
God's away on business, business
God's away, God's away
God's away on business, business"
God has deserted us.
"Digging up the dead with a shovel and a pick
It's a job, it's a job"
Dead rising in the end times.
"Bloody moon rising with a plague and a flood
Join the mob, join the mob."
The people are angry that God has deserted them and let the world die.
"It's all over, it's all over
It's all over"
Self explanatory..
"There's a leak, there's a leak in the boiler room
The poor, the lame, the blind"
About the ship (world) starting to "sink" not sure about the "poor, the lame, the blind."
"Who are the ones that we kept in charge?
Killers, thieves and lawyers"
We put corupt people in power to tell us what to do.
"God's away, God's away
God's away on business, business
God's away, God's away on business, business"
Again, God has left us...
"Godddamn there's always such a big temptation
To be good, to be good"
Being "good" is looked at as weak, while being "bad" is looked at as being strong, therefore it's the norm..
"There's always free cheddar in a mousetrap, baby
It's a deal, it's a deal"
For every action there is a consequence.
"God's away, God's away
God's away on business, business
God's away, God's away
God's away on business, business"
Do I need to say it again?!!?!?!?!?!? lol
"I narrow my eyes like a coin slot baby
Let her ring, let her ring"
He's keeping an eye on someone waiting for them to slip up.
"God's away, God's away
God's away on business, business
God's away, God's away
God's away on business, business "
I mostly agree with this interpretation. A few adjustments on how i see it:

I related this back to being heartless; the people who bury the dead see them as "bodies" not "humans" ... and its just another way to get the bills paid.

"There's a leak, there's a leak in the boiler room

The boiler room is what makes the ship GO... "the poor, the lame, the blind" are the common people who get taxed and pretty much keep the economy rolling. Its a direct connection to "killer, thieves and lawyers," who are at the controls at the front of the ship. *note: He put lawyers in with the killers and thieves because it is their job to defend them IF they are representing that person. Defending the guilty is just as bad as doing the deed.
"I narrow my eyes like a coin slot baby
Let her ring, let her ring"
Wasting money on the lotto... i see it as literal. Instead of working to earn money, people are wasting it to get richer the easier way.
