But is there because he's victim of the times. Почему is there, а не it is?
Это из песни Джонни Кэша (Jhonny Cahs) Man in black.

I wear it for the prisoner who has long paid for
his crime
But is there because he's victim of the times

Почему тут is there? Разве не должно быть что-то вроде it is или this is? Может это инверсия?

И еще оттуда же:
But just so we're reminded of the ones who are
held back
Up front there upght'a be a Man In Black

Что значит здесь held back?
И что значит up front? Впереди должен быть человек в черном?

Answer

The second line still refers to the prisoner, you could add the word "he" to make it more obvious:

I wear it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime
But (he) is there because he's victim of the times

I can't really answer the second part of your question without more context.

Answer

Ошибся.
Во второй цитате должно быть
Up front there ought'a be a Man In Black
