I think this song is about a certain type of hypocrite. A rich man who thinks that he knows what the real world is like and that he can survive outside of his bubble. In reality, however, he does not stand a chance in the real world. Achilles could also be correct.
I do however disagree with myownprisons post about the fat boy stereotype. I think the fat boy comments are not made with the assumption stated ('I was going to say that calling him a "fat boy" is a stereotype but as I think about it, I guess if you were rich, you would have more to eat. It's still a stereotype, but more like a "semi-stereotype"') however, as another word for capitalist pig. Pig = Fat.
This is all my opinion, I could very well be wrong.

I agree with the interpretation of Fat Boy being used to mean Capitalist Pig. Pretty much shows that in the video.
