Interesting idea. However, I doubt it. The original title was Joe Simpson (see links above). I think the song is pretty clear.
"Stranger in a strange land" is a biblical reference. There are many others on the album(e.g. "the lion and the lamb" "golden calf"). The character in the song seems to think that this is a strange (and immoral) land- (e.g. "planes keep crashing", "The voices when they scream, well, they make no sound/Want to see the cities rust/And the troublemakers riding on the back of the bus"). He sees himself and his daughter as being in the minority of the righteous. Of course, this is just his rationalization for exploiting his daughter.
