He's merely talking about bad things that happened (current events and controversial issues) such as the Atlanta child murders, Nixon and Watergate, Lennon getting killed, gun control, Reagan receiving that assasination attempt. Prince is staging a protest by "living his life in taxi cabs".

His guitar work in that song is amazing.
