My first thought before actually seeing the lyrics, was that he was well of but ended up as an injured war veteran during the golf war (that was what i got out of the oil thing).
But it seems to be about a rich man who ends up getting fired from his oil company (butt scuds were having fire-feast).
Now he's a homeless, not necessarily crippled, but people don't want to acknowledge his existence. I'm guessing that he is either planning on offing himself, leaving town or somehow miraculously redeem himself.
