makes sense that it should be about his friend who was suffering from cancer, but i believe it is a general comment on life and death aswell. i think the first makes this plain. it seems he's asking or seeking an answer to the corruption and decay in modern wellfare society embodied by the junkies left to themselves on the playground. I especially like the last line of the verse where it seems he's implying how we prosper off the death of the damned.
