"it" in is life itself. "it" is everything the song describes, however contradictory the verses may sound. Because life is that way. Substitute "life" or "existance" for "it"

"can you feel it, see it, hear it today?
If you can’t, then it doesn’t matter anyway"

very existential. If you can't then you're dead (the song seems to assume a posture of atheism?).

"you’ve got to share it, so you dare it
then you bare it and you tear it"

procreation, perhaps? I'm not real sure about that line...

"you want it all but you can’t have it
it’s in your face but you can’t grab it
what is it?
It’s it
what is it? ..."

that's the question every sentient being faces ... "what is it?" ...

The meaning of life?

The answer,of course, is 42.
