"My boss just quit the job
Says he's going out to find blind spots and he'll do it
The third planet is sure that they're being watched
By an eye in the sky that can't be stopped
When you get to the promised land
You're going to shake that eye's hand"
Like people have been saying, I think that Brock's boss quit the job to go off and find 'blind spots' (where he can sin without "the eye" seeing) from the eye in the sky. The eye in the sky represents God. True, he does describe the bible as a "crock of bullshit". But he also says that it's too interesting of a subject to pass up. He writes about religion a lot.
It says "The third planet is sure that they're being watched
By an eye in the sky that can't be stopped"
The third planet = earth.
Earth is sure they are being watched by a God.
"Well, a third had just been made and we were swimming in the water
Didn't know then, was it a son, was it a daughter
When it occurred to me that the animals are swimming
Around in the water in the oceans in our bodies
And another had been found, another ocean on the planet
Given that our blood is just like the Atlantic
And how"
I love this part. There are many worlds inside the universe. Just as the earth is in the universe, there is a microcosm inside each of us.
All in all, I think this song covers the concept of evolution, (also a recurring theme on the whole album). Our existence is important, just as any other existence, because it all fits together in one giant flow. Just as each cell working together in our bodies is important to us, we are important to the operation of the universe overall. We are a cell in the universe.
That makes me think of people I know who are really smart and who say they don't believe in god or religion, but who read the Bible, Torah, and Koran to educate themselves since these books are so powerful in our World.

Your last bit about our existence makes me want to recommend you the book "Ishmael" by Daniel Quinn. Let me know if you have read it, or what you think after you read it.

This song has some of my favorite lyrics in it.
