I think it's pretty straightforward and sarcastic - especially if anyone's ever seen the music video. The song begins depicting two different images - the poor, who struggle to eat, and the wealthy, who don't even realize the poor exist.
As in true Walkyier sarcastic form, he speaks from the point of view of the poor man, but adds the last line - 'Cause they who receive feast deserve it the most' - making a statement that those who are poor are so because they choose not to advance themselves. The video shows this as well.
Another point of interest is the line: "Raise glasses in toast to the 'other-half' dying to eat." Walkyier loves these play-on-words and this has to do with both the "other half" being the poor and "half-dying to eat", which is what the poor are.
Incredibly written by Walkyier.
