W.M.A. stands for White Male American In Pearl Jam - The Illustrated Story, Eddie Vedder explained: I think Id probably stayed at the rehearsal studio the night before and it had been a couple of days since I had a shower and Ive got my old shoes on and I dont look too great, a little grunge on my teeth or whatever. And Im sitting there with this guy whos of a darker color than me, and along come these cops, they run around with their bikes trying to look cool. So here they come, theyre heading straight for us. And they just ignored me and [started] hassling him. Compared to me, this guy looks as respectable as f--k. But they started hassling him, and that just blew me the f--k away. So I started hassling them and one thing led to another... I was just really wound up by it. I had all this f--king energy rushing through me. I was mad. Really f--king angry. I got back to the studio and the guys had been working on this thing and I just went straight in and did the vocals, and that was the song.
