Lou Reed lived a sheltered life? Who does he think he's kidding? Well, I really like this song. Maybe he's trying to point out that there's really no such thing as a sheltered life and it doesn't matter that much if you've been to exotic places or had experiences that seem outwardly unusual. "Never learned to handle all the things that I've seen" is a key line, I think, because even though he's lived a sheltered life by some people's standards, he doesn't feel very sheltered.
