I think it's probably related to PS going through a divorce. The protagonist is at a point in a break-up where he just wants things to be over with and to be out of the relationship. He and his wife are saying petty insults to each other ("She says the joke is on me/I say the joke is on her") and he's numb and just wants to get things over:
Well, I have no opinion about that
And I have no opinion about me
Even though the protagonist isn't a young, good-looking person anymore (he's "fat" now), the divorce will take up time (this will eat up a year of my life), and people will gossip about him ("All about the fire in your life/On the evening news"), that's better than his crazy relationship.
I really identify with this song!
