You misunderstood the song, the point of the song is that everyone feeds on someone else's misfortune. Humans have an intrinsic need for violence and horror, just watch the news and that's all that they have on because that's what people want to see.

The very first line in the song is more inline with how I feel it relates to me and all other humans "Eye on the TV, 'cause tragedy thrills me"

The only lyric that mentions angels is mocking people for believing mankind intrinsically has a good heart.

"Credulous at best, your desire to believe in Angels in the hearts of men Pull your head on out your hippy haze and give a listen"
