While I made my previous post months ago, I had no idea anyone would read it and take it seriously and give serious responses. Obviously I stand corrected: none of you are on crack, just PCP. I never thought about censorship being a theme/meaning, so thankyou for the well-written thought to those who proposed that. After months of still listening to this song, I still think that there is a strong sexual element to the lyrics, however I'd agree that its not what the song is actually about. You must understand, my judgmental tone came from the agitation that I had from reading the menial posts before mine. Reading well-written responses has been a pleasure to read.

Are you all on crack? (please don't answer that question) This song is obviously about sex, nearly all MSI songs are. If you want to get into the meaning of this song, you'll find that the lyrics are in the first person, which clearly express enthusiasm and anticipation for future sex. Okay, maybe I'm being too logical. But lets take this in context with the music video of the store clerk headbanging, singing, freaking out, attacking customers, and exploding. Sure there's random killing and such, but its clearly an illustration of a guy who can't wait to get out of work so that he can get the wild crazy angry action that he wants. "I can't wait for you to shut me up/knock me up/fuck me up" That pretty much is literal. As for the song itself? Oh, it kicks ass. The Whips? I don't really hear the whips as much as I hear the bass, the rock, the mic, the treble. *head bangs to song* Wait. I heard one. Fuck. You crack heads win.

I think it's about censorship and selling out basically, he's saying he can't wait til producers shut him up and write the words for him so that he can sound cool(sarcastically of course)
