The song is about a miserable hater, who only feels good when he's hurting others, which is why he has his good days on bad days.
He picks on the weak, grabbing an "underdog" by "the collar" and beating him up.
Unlike those who use words, to negotiate confrontations, he uses "sticks and stones and animal bones," enjoys the pain he inflicts on others, and has a good day on their bad days.
He goes out looking for a ruck, upsetting people out for a pleasurable drink, with his aggressive provocations: "Making a night of it Breaking the barriers Drowning the sorrows Upset the regulars."
And in the last verse, the judge sends him to prison: "You have missed an opportunity And that's a really big mistake, If you had a different attitude You'd still have good days and bad days." Now he'll only have bad days in prison, 'cos he just couldn't behave himself, and be a decent person while he was free.
