While being a lawyer is a prestigious profession, they also often have a reputation for being cold, calculating, and unconcerned with ethics or doing the right thing when in the face of money. The speaker is referring to this negative image in his song here, which is a strong criticism about the job. When he says that "no one's ever said "first, let's kill all the tailors!"," he is referring to the fact that compared to tailors, who are seen as harmless, lawyers often draw the ire and criticism of people first. They can be said to not necessarily have a pure or good image in the eyes of many in society.
