This song is about Kurt's out look on himself from his Father's prospective. Just so you know the lyrics above are wrong. Kurt didn't really like his father. He hated him for "unmercifully beating him as a child and leaving him, getting a new family and not wanting to include him in his new life.." If you don't believe me go check out the documentary "About a Son" where Kurt talks about it in his own words. Pretty much I interpret the song as Kurt talking about himself from his dad's prospective saying Kurt disgraced his family and never has and never will amount to anything.
