this song was aimed at the growing punk culture that saw hating Led Zeppelin as essential to their punk image. the song actually has sort of a Zeppelinized punk feel to it. it was the last song on the band's last album, CODA, an album that they actually considered releasing under an assumed name to prevent the punk influence from hurting sales. i think the song is basically saying that they (zeppelin's members) saw themselves as being mentally little different from the punks that hated them so much, and that they didn`t understand the hate they were shown by punk bands and their followers.
