This song is no doubt about the homeless. He said once that he was inspired to write this song upon seeing homeless people roaming the streets in California.
A significant symbol in this song is the gun. The beauty of this symbol is that it is up to interpretation. The gun may represent either a way out (suicide), a way to make money or safety. The way he mentions the tomatoes has still got me stumped. In my opinion the tomatoes represent a positive alternative to the gun. Where instead of dwelling on how he once had a gun to provide sustenance, he also remembers having the ability to simply grow food from land that he owned.
I have a morbid theory to the tomatoes.
He talks about his garden with fake flowers and lawn knows. And I think in the next line hes talking about him and his family standing in that garden. And in the final line, the tomatoes are drops of blood. It ends with his reason for losing everything.
