| Right, Lucy; just because people support abortion doesn't mean they like having them. No one LIKES having them. | |

| maybe about become more famous as a band? the first verse is stating how "tough" they are, a high tolerance level. and then second verse is about how they dont want to trust all the people who just want to be a part of it for the money or fame. They dont want to change who they are as a band but its already begun from the pressure and fame. the last verse is questioning what is being asked of the band by the music industry and maybe producers or something. They're whipping is pretty obvious that the band feels like they are being punished by all the pressure and pushing (im being shoved). That might not be very right but its my interpretation | |

| It's about abortion, but against it in a tongue-in-cheek manner. My interpretation, anyway | |

| I never looked at it that way, I know understand the Pro-choice movement a little clearer.... I can rationalize with their ideas moreso, anyways this is about the abortion issue and free speech and I dont give a damn if eddie is a Bleeding heart liberal, he writes some of the best music to ever be recorded... I love this song, It is one of the best Rockin songs on vitalogy, (save for Last Exit and obviously Corduroy) | |
