There are many ways you can interpret this song but its pretty clear it's about how you can't avoid "the hammer", i.e. death, no matter you social status, wealth, etc. Nobody escapes it.
Got turned onto this song after I bought the Wembley DVD about six months ago. Absolutely a rocker that's better live than on the original recording. On the DVD, it comes right after Bohemian Rhapsody - as dynamic a duo as you'll ever hear live, made better by the fact that it was in front of 100,000+ fans.
