As caullyflower26 and phnompencil accurately surmise, this song is about the music biz. Donald and Walter are thumbing their noses at the hand that feeds them.
Verse one: play the game even if it's not who you really are
Verse two: it's a trite game anyway. perhaps you do sell out to make it, the ride is worth it if you can keep your dignity intact.
Verse three: you must put on a good show and please the crowd. If it doesn't take there's always the borscht belt circuit.
Chorus: small fry or big fish - you're at the mercy of a system that's going to exploit you.
