"Behind Blue Eyes" by The Who. This song just had to be written by someone with asperger's.
It's more than that. All songs written by Pete Townsend.
0. as you point out, Behind Blue Eyes. Tom Gray's information page has a very interesting picture at the bottom that illustrates this song well.

1. The entire concept of the Opera Tommy. written by Pete Townsend. Tommy is a healthy kid, goes into an autistic shock (deaf dumb and blind) - then come out at the end of the show - only to climb up a mountain and to be by himself. the song "Pinball Wizard" clearly describes hard-core autism.
2. written by Pete Townsend.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAaxJULHcq4 "Imagine A man" lyrics, all of them. But "You know your invention is you".
3. written by Pete Townsend.
http://www.lyricsmania.com/lyrics/the_w ... 19907.html "it's Hard". Key lyrics "deal me another hand lord, this one is very hard". The entire song fits though.
4. Pete Townsend again.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcA1XrgHGU4&NR=1 "There aint' no way out (No matter how much I booze)" lyrics: "worry about my responsibilities, all the problems that screw me up. My ego will just confuse me". The entire song.
that's just a couple hours of thinking. I've been a lifelong Who fan, used to obsesses over Behind Blue Eyes and Imagine a Man at age 15 to 18. i would do this after a day of Public school, listen to them over and over.
Humm... interesting?
It's for sure not Daltry, it is Townsend. I saw them in concert in Tacoma Washington around 1997/1998 show of Quadrophenia.
