My guess is that this song is about Bill Clinton. When he was running for president in 1992 he was under attack for avoiding the draft and marital infidelity. He made a moving speech in New Hampshire before the primary and the press called him "the comeback kid" after he finished second and eventually won the election.
"settle for free rent
the tenements recall Rome"
These lines are about the white house because the president lives there for free, and the architecture of the white house has a roman style.
I’m guessing that the second and third to last stanzas are about Clinton’s “farewell tour” speeches before leaving the white house.
“like a bat out of hell
time has come for you”
This suggests that after Clinton serves his eight year tenure, he has to leave office. Time has come for him.
