Well, I kinda know what you mean and I hope its not true. But I'm reminded of I Just Want To See The Boy Happy when he says, "let's face it soon I will be dead". Its quite a common theme in his songs of late but I suppose, in a way, it always has been.
As for this song, its class. I think hes talking about his fans in this one. They often moan and complain about him, all the time, how hes lettin everyone down all the time and stuff. A lot of them anyway. Hes saying to them however that they need him whatever they complain about.
Also aimed at the press aswell I feel, like the NME, they accuse him of racism and stuff but they need him badly to sell their damn magazines.
Basically, when there's so much suffering in the world, start complaining about that and stop criticising him for stuff, especially when deep down, you need the man
