Such a terrific song. Literally it's about an immigrant and his money troubles and how it affects his familial life and life in general, and how he deals with it. More metaphorically, it's just about how one deals with all quandaries in life - by "taking a walk", perhaps the simplest and most universal human action, something that brings us back to our roots, brings us closer to the true essence of life, away from materialistic and societally driven desires. Something that cleanses us and gives us perspective in a beautifully wholesome way, like a deep breath of fresh air. Something that clears the mind and gives someone time to reflect. It's amazing - that one line makes the song - when he says, "iii took a walk," it's just seems like its an answer to life or something, like he's got it all figured out via song.
Oh - and the beat that comes on when he says that line is (obviously) so fitting - it makes you want to walk purposefully to it. Just a great song to take a walk to!

It IS a great song. So nice to see a pop artist take a sympathetic look at a character typically lampooned as "the man".
