i think this song is about abusive husbands who beat up their wives and the wives finally fighting back.
"Pass tha purse to the pugilists
He's a prizefighter"
this seems to be about him hitting her for money out of her purse
"He bought rings and he owns kin
And now he's swingin'
And now he's the champion"
this, i think, is saying how he feels because he bought the wedding rings he now owns her and he can do what he wants to her and feels great about it.
"Hey revolver, don't mothers make
Good fathers ?"
this, the chorus, seems to be about the women fighting back and not putting up with it anymore. it seems taken literally to be the woman shooting the abusive man, and saying she can be a better father to their children than he was. i think this basically is just supposed to mean her getting him out of her life and taking control.
