Levon was born to Alvin Tostig (eastern european). Levon is likely an immigrant to America and is prideful of his war wound (WWI ?). I believe the song is about Levon's overwhelming pride. Levon was born on Christmas day -- he calls his son Jesus -- because he likes the name. Really he's just referencing his own birthdate. Again, pride.
Jesus wants to go to Venus (meet a woman and get married, experience love). Leaving Levon far behind. The focus of Jesus is to find Love, the focus of Levon is making money...conflicting values
