To me it's about how words have the power to make or break someone, especially when those words might be shared via the press to an impressionable audience who don't have all the facts. You don't need violence to solve problems, a word in the right ear then made public will injure someone far more harshly. A modern version of the phrase, "The pen is mightier than the sword.".
Fish's masterful lyrics, they're so razor sharp they could slice through sheet metal when he sings! Ha ha!
