| Yuk. One of my least favorite songs on the cd. But, it is a hark back to their some of their older songs (if you listen to What Hits?!, almost all of the songs are like this) and some fans will enjoy it. Possibly about being a bad-ass? | |

| i think this song is about his sexual relationship with a dominatrix type chick. they struggle for the power in the relationship (Hit me come get me I bite but she bit me) , but he enjoys it (You want to draw some straws Be the one to see my flaws Make me bleed with painted claws-her nails) and wants her to "get on top" both literally and metaphorically | |

| junners, stop being mean! i've lsitened to loads of their stuff. and i really really like the older stuff esp bssm but uplift... is great tho. but i've converted to the new stuff. it's wicked! to me this song is about disobeying the authorities. like he says "give the finger to a cop" and sings about "complications of a mastermind". to me he's saying subversiveness is the key. you've got to "get on top" of things. that whole sex thing is a distraction to cover for the real reason. i FEEL the truth. i know what i'm talking about | |
