| 42's got it. I love this song! I've sold myself for a fair share of wooden nickels and no just what this song is about. It's great. It's not necessarily about heaven or hell. i don't think the songwriter even believes in that. It's definately about trading your values, integrity, friendships, family, etc for money, fame, sex, power yadayada...and then living to regret it. Ultimately a wooden nickel is worthless as are those aforementioned things. For some reason the song also sounds like a father talking to a son or some other figure that once looked up to the song's main charecter. Any way it reads, great song from a great band! 1 | |

| I want to add to the other ideas by saying that the lines 'Dont' take any wooden nickels when you sell your soul' could appear to be mean and vindictive, but are actually really sweet, as he wants her to get the full value, should she sell her soul. | |
