Bettyforsmut, you are right about the first two lines, I was gonna correct it til I saw you beat me to it!
I've always heard this as a criticism of the self-righteous, of the holier-than-thou types who can't see from another person's point of view.
The important part of the song for me, however, is the musical intro. The build-up creates so much tension, then the noise leaves you out in the open waiting for what comes next. Then the drumbeat drops from about a million stories up, right into such a hard-ass riff, it's incredible. Why doesn't anyone make awesome music like this anymore?
