Surely a song of observation and not written at all in a condescending manner. We've all seen individuals like this, have we not, who we thought have missed out and don't know much. Reminds me of Johnny in 'Police Squad' who shined Frank Drebin's shoes and gave him the lowdown and clues on the case he was investigating.
The language in the song is respectful of this guy even though the title suggests it is not - "he does know something but he's just not saying". The song finishes to, "Sometimes he looks so happy, When he goes walking by". We wouldn't take his place for the world but there is a contentedness about his lifestyle which contrasts with perhaps our own.
