I hadn't thought of this song as a cry for help before, but it certainly makes sense.
I always interpret the 'I got sould but I'm not a soldier' thing to mean either, a) I'm cool, but I don't have any political point to make or (which I think makes more sense), b) I may have style, but not very much resolve.
My boyfriend keeps teasing me about this song, joking that you might as well sing 'I got toes, but I'm not a toaster'. Witty, yes - but misses the point somewhat I think!
