i htink its kinda like scarcasm, likw ho needs 15 cars and the lne "we will stay skinny cuz we just wont eat" like sayin we want to be skinny we all do like moviestars but really they go annorexic. They sayin stuff like we all wanna be famous cuz of all the good things but wwe dont need them and we should be happy with what we got "ill even cutmy hair and change my name" -showing the stupidity in givin up everything u have for material items

yeah, i think this song is a sarcastic view of the rockstar lifestyle, drugs, money, women...etc. whoever said nickelback is christian is retarded. see "animals", "never again" and "figured you out"

yeah it is a bit off in spots, so is do this anymore. i think this song is great, it sounds like chad having a bit of a go at himself and celebrities in general, especially the line 'we'll all stay skinny cause we just won't eat'. It's great to see he has a sense of humour and can laugh at himself

I agree with lamiga and aimless. The song is an obvious satire of the celebrity lifestyle. Coupled with the irony of being sung by Chad Kroger (a.k.a. a big rockstar) the song makes for a great statement. I love the song and the CD as a whole. It's their best work yet.
