The man has pseudo-friends who constantly criticize his actions. They moralize him, "teach" him and advise him to make a significant change in his life, because the way he is and what he does is not what they say it should be. They may find his life lame or immoral. They hold themselves up as role models. The man replies that he will make his own choices and decisions and he does not agree to unconditionally make himself under the influence of questionable quality advice. He justifies this by saying that there is always someone for whom he will be important, no matter what he does and no matter what he is. Although it is not said directly, I read it as meaning that he will always be important to himself in every way and he will always have his own support.
"Everyone is different and maybe that's a good thing, but you exceeded that mark 1000 times" - I remember very well how sad the words I once heard (from my peers and it was in negative context) at school made me feel.
How about a mega-store
Full of guns to start a war
We're selling toys for fatal games
We'll take the credit not the blame
When they shoot the neighbors
Shoot the daughters
Shoot the sisters
Shoot the mutha's
It's a billion dollar industry
All in the name of liberty
Guns 'are' us
Guns 'are' us, big boys buy big toys at
Guns 'are' us
Guns 'are' us
Living out the fantasy
Buy a dozen get, one free
Radar-guided, laser speed
Devastation guaranteed
Then they shoot the neighbors
Shoot the daughters
Shoot the brothers
Shoot the dog
It's a billion dollar industry
A constitutional guaranty
Guns 'are' us
Guns 'are' us, big boys buy big toys at
Guns 'are' us, get a free magazine with your M-16
Guns 'are' us, it's a one-day-sale
Gunned down in the neighborhood
In the name of brotherhood
Black or white ain't worth a dime
Cut 'em down in zero time
It's shoot to kill, they shoot to kill
It's a human thrill just to shoot to kill
When they shoot the neighbors
Shoot the daughters
Shoot the sisters
Shoot the mutha's
It's a billion dollar industry
All in the name of liberty
Guns 'are' us
Guns 'are' us, a final mega-blow-out-sale at
Guns 'are' us, get your armor-piercing son of a bitch at
Guns 'are' us, we accept your cash or credit card
