Some pretty appalling lyrics in this song in my opinion.

He complains about the struggles of the working class and then immediately says:

If you’re five-foot-three and you’re 300 pounds Taxes ought not pay for your bags of fudge rounds

He also says:

Lord, we got folks in the street, ain’t got nothin’ to eat And the obese milkin’ welfare

Gotta love a working class hero who takes a giant shit all over the working class. A smarter man would have commented on how the rich men in the food industry have helped to fuel the obesity epidemic, which disproportionately hurts those living in food deserts and/or economically depressed areas.

This guy is just pandering to right-wingers who can’t think beyond Reagan-era talking points. Obese people on Welfare aren’t the reason for America’s shrinking middle class. This guy should have done more reading before he tried his hand at writing.
