Damn I love this song!
Do you all think it is about him and the media invading his art?
It is so angry I love it, a nice way of saying F off!

    I think that's exactly what it's about. It's for the band and the fans, not for MTV or Rolling Stone or the record label

    Yeah that is why I love the song.
    It is for us, not them, f*** them!

    Once I was in the car with my friend and I had Even Flow playing and he goes I love this song it's tough :?
    I don't want people 'liking' the music I listen to because it is 'cool' or 'tough'.

    i thought it was about ed and his girl at the time
    small my table, fits just two


    then later he was single and at live shows he changed it to small my table..fits just one

    just about having a seperate private life for themselves.
    its for them. not you

    That line was about Ed and his girl.

    Then he was single and it was just about him.

    Then it 'sits just three'

    And now I'm sure it sits all four.

    That's part of it, for sure. It's all part of the broader theme the original poster outlined.
    everybody wants the most they can possibly get
    for the least they could possibly do

    Same here.
    Vitalogy was the first PJ album I owned and what got me into PJ when I was 14.
    I was so not like most of the people I went to school with and this song provided great comfort.

    It's one of my favorites!
