It seems that in this song, Les is trying to defend his Fats and convince people that he is a good man, despite his alcoholism, rudeness, and generally reckless lifestyle. This is most evident in the final stanza, "Fats, he's a hell of a man. Can't y'all understand? Him taunting his mortality, He's unnerved by sobriety." At this point, les is desperately trying to defend Fats, but even Les cannot keep from revealing his behavioral flaws.

@Kyle Chizeck I personally don't think he's trying to defend "Fats" it's more like a critic, he gets sort of cynical in a lot of his lyrics. It's more like a man that's destroying himself butt he doesn't appear to give a shit, "He drips personality"
