What are you kidding? This is one of the best Eagles lyrics of all time. It describes the Narcissistic American freeloader. Our society has become full of professional victims. "A victim of this, a victim of that" People who get into a car wreck and sue for the legal equivalent of the lottery. Whiny wimps that don't take responsibility for themselves and expect the government to take care of them.
Yea takers of society, get over it and stop asking for free stuff.
The irony is that Henley is a big time liberal supporting the Democratic party at every turn. The same party that wants to provide freebees for everyone and extend benefits into the socialist category. The democratic party wants to keep people dependent on them. Exactly what this song is against.
