Honestly, I think this song is about police profiling and how ridiculous it is. In the song, the cops are obviously raiding his house, harassing him, threatening him and try to find drug paraphernalia, probably without good cause. He's not sure what is happening, or who to blame (hence the first part of the chorus) but he knows all the while the top rich people smoke weed or whatever and openly admit to it and glorify it and everyone knows they do, yet you don't see the cops raiding their house and harassing them. But that's just my interpretation.
p.s. the line "wait a minute tough guy" is actually "save your bullets tough guy" I understand though, it's hard to tell exactly what Neil is singing in many of his songs.
