what is this about?
Pro-choice?
The band vs media and producers?

I read it is about pro choice on songmeanings.net and also media and producers?
Very angry song love it.

    Maybe my favorite song. I've always thought that its just a defiance song. Rebelling. Being more independant.

    Maybe it's about something more specific, but I'd rather leave it as generic as possible.

    It's a great song to sing when at work or thinking about my boss :evil:

    I agree...I like to thing this song is about independence....all the don't need's in the lyrics makes me think of someone who has a lot of pride and knows that they don't need anything for a crutch.
