I think the song is about a dysfunctional family and different lyrics are things different members of the family have said.
The lyrics that the brother sings are "I'm a bad imitator of a boy in the sky" to "You'd stop" are about his struggle to understand and go along with the rest of the family.
The lyrics " You want to do it" to"And you're gonna make it alright" are the mother distracting the father from his worries.
The lyrics "I'm impregnable, incredible, the setting of quo" to " You get a heartache" is the sister achive her goals even though her family doesn't support her.
Lastly the lyrics " Every time we try, we get no where" to " So I guess I'm alright" is about the fathers internal struggle to support his family
