This song is not a prescription for action.
This song is just a great manifestation of the emotion of frustration with those people who freeload, who break the rules for their own advantage and never face any consequence. When we see something like that, we DO think, "Jeez, I want to shoot that guy. This is not fair." That doesn't mean we should do it; the music is just a representation of what we feel at that moment. Eventually, the moment passes, and we can turn the other cheek, laugh it off, or deal with it head on. But that initial rage is powerful.
I don't particularly like the lyric change to "fuck you myself... my foot up your fucking ass" in some live recordings I've heard. I don't think it's quite as effective, though I can understand that some people might easily misunderstand the lyrics otherwise.
