The song is about Henley's frustration and contempt for others (such as TV talk show guests) blaming their failures, mental breakdowns, and financial problems on those who he feels do not deserve it, then believing that the world owes them a favor. The song's lyrics include "Old Billy was right: let's kill all the lawyers—kill 'em tonight", which references William Shakespeare's Henry VI, Part II line "The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers".
