An optimistic anticipation of balance!

I reckon this song is a condemning wealthy and powerful people, warning that the 'high' times aren't going to last as there will be no escaping a revolution.

But the "enjoy it while you can" message is definitely caustic and should serve to undermine the integrity of such people.
