This song is the final testament of a contentious figure, perhaps a John Dillinger-esque man, about whom everyone has an opinion, summing up how everyone will speculate and celebrate when he dies. The immense amount of conflicting views towards him included in the song creates the idea that no-one truly knew the narrator at all, perhaps explaining his bitter and cynical outlook towards the world and his acceptance of his imminent death.
