Some people as saying this is a positive uplifting song, but it's actually a sad song as well. I think this song is about a person that was born with something wrong with them, like an illness of some sort. They are saying "No matter how bad things get for me, I won't lose my love for myself... but, I'm not going to live very long."
"They slapped me into line as it crossed my mind." I think this means, I thought about ending my life, but was talked out of it."
"I've felt better, I've felt worse" Indicates there's some kind of illness.
"This is my life and it's all very well but never again " Meaning, this is the life I have, but I wouldn't want to go through this again.
"As they say, we've been robbed" This person was "robbed" of a normal life.
"I'm not going to shrug my shoulders & suck my thumb" - As bad as my life is, I'm not giving up.
"Picture my house in a postcard town, Picture a bomb in the sky" - Yes, I'm alive and I love myself, but it's all about to end.
"Time's so scarce where I come from" - Indicates the person is near death.
