La chanson évoque une conversation entre un homme qui cherche désespérément un soutien financier et un autre, le "Fat Man", qui semble avoir une connaissance accrue des arnaques. L'interlocuteur tente de justifier sa demande d'argent en exposant ses difficultés personnelles, mais il se heurte au scepticisme du "Fat Man", qui perçoit sa ruse. Le contexte est celui d'une rencontre sur un trottoir, où des enjeux de survie quotidienne et de désespoir humain se mêlent à des échanges familiers et parfois cyniques. L'élément central de cette interaction est l'absence de duplicités dans le regard du "Fat Man", qui refuse de se laisser berner par des promesses vides.
