Showing a classic cynical attitude that Warren Zevon became known for, the song's main theme is based upon seeing the world and in the end not being all that impressed with it.

Throughout the song he describes his visits to such places as Paris or Rome, brushing them off by saying that they "ain't that pretty at all".

In the end Zevon describes that he wants to hurl himself against the wall, because he would rather feel bad about something than feel nothing at all.
