i think this song must be about someone he knew. there are some parts, such as "Any job with a helmet in case of a drop" (which seems to be a reference to epilepsy) that characterize the person as if it was a real person he knew. anyway, the song is obviously about someone who didn't care enough to make a difference or change in society, and just floated through life without opinions. they weren't satisfied with the way things were, but they didn't know how to or care enough to contribute to a change.
