This is because of a common myth that lemmings commit mass suicide by jumping off cliffs. In reality, they just migrate in large groups and go to great extents finding new territory, such as jumping off a cliff and swimming. However not many survive the fall and die.

In figure of speech we call people who follow a crowd mindlessly lemmings, which is what I believe the song talks about. "we'll surely die diving off the cliff" pretty much confirms it.
