This song seems to be about drugs and homelessness, but more so about how society is detached from these people.
"Never reveal the family secret, hide the rats in your basement. There's an old lady in her gray rags, who always sleeps in the park."
"Paramedics are closing the black bag, kids are playing, laughing in the park, no place to call home, no one even cares, there is always a dark family secret to hide."
I think these two lines say it the best. Every city has these people, but who are they? No one cares, they're bums, and that's what society sees them as; bums. This is a very good song, and I think there are other meanings to it as well, I have to listen to it some more, but this is my take on it.
