Not too sure about the lyrics, but I'm fairly certain the video talks about the danger of idleness. The beginning of the video starts out with scrolling words that say: "Idle minds are the devil's workshop.".
Then, it shows the band members all idle, doing nothing, and then later shows what that can lead to. The video shows examples of: Lust, Mark Foster punching a hole to look at some snazzy women. Gluttony, It shows Mark eating and eating and dirty plates stacking up and down. Violence, when Mark is sitting all alone on a balcony, doing nothing, some "Foster the People" fans with the words "FOSTER" on their shirts dance up and down in joy. Mark then lifts up his hand and his fingers form the shape of a pistol. He "shoots" and blue liquid comes out of the fans. But, the fans still jump around in joy. (Not sure what that's about). Isolation, it shows one of the other band members naked in a bathtub filled with red liquid. Later it shows him get up with his hands around his head, like he is going through a spiritually and or rough time. (Nothing objectionable is shown at all)

Sorry, at that end part I meant, "Spiritually and / or mentally rough time"
