Actually, I thought this song was more about the homeless. Look at the line, "we're not all bloodsucking leeches, for we all have families too, but that don't mean that we really love them or that we don't."

And there's the line, "We don't expect a handout or anything". When you think about it, he's trying to say that the homeless can't really help being what they are. The "give us what we want" lines could be the voices of society, telling them to work for them, get a life, job, etc.
