As good as some of these lyrics are, I really struggle with the meaning of the song. My best guess is that it's about music itself and our freedom to choose what music we listen to, regardless of what others think ("Let the critics drop dead...")

That said, this may very well be the first Speed Metal song ever recorded. Exciter gets a lot of credit for that, but it all started here with this song.
