The song is non-linear - it's his boring, stultifying life flashing before his eyes as he dies in a car crash. Drunken racists beating up (verbally? or physically?) the guy who runs the Chinese carryout place; drunken "friends" who make fun of him for running away from fights; and it's all going to happen again and again, so he drives drunk and too fast and doesn't see a thing until the crash.
I thought the line was "met the dumb suburbos at the takeaway," but "man, the drunks were verbal" is good, too.
