I think this song is about equality, freeing those who are imprisoned by societys chains of judgement & exclusion. No matter what someones race, creed or financial situation is they should all be treated the same (given the same opportunities) & of course this is not the way the world works at all generally. Often those who are different are skewered & judged or just plain forgotten about. The history of the term waterboy is that back in the day was a boy employed in traditional farming or industry to provide water for farm workers or machinery, railroads also employed water boys. In India the water boy (pani-wallah or bhisti) was an occupation.
