What a song!

I reckon the song may be about his dad (and mum?). What do you reckon to this interp?:

Settle up, we're calling up the pain Stealin' dad? You're single, hide the strain You came, you saw, you sawed her brain You cut out all the parts that held your stain

Still in clad you're billing. Why the blame? She's crying now you're climbing down your claim Sitting up you're counting up your names Seen enough to bend him off the frame

You came, you saw, you sawed her brain You cut out all the parts that held your stain

You clipped, you clawed to no applause You lost the will to bolt the lying gauze

so try to be somebody so try to fee somebody so try to leave somebody so hard/try to be somebody

Workin' and you run

My Interpretation
