The song was inspired by the Los Angeles Riots in 1992. Guitarist Greg Camp told Songfacts.com:

"The song was basically a social and racial battle cry. It was a sort of 'Can't we all get along?' song for the time when I wrote it. It was just about all the things that were going on around me as a young person. And I'm, like, God, what is going on? I don't understand why this is happening. It's like we might as well be walking around a planet on fire."
