As much as I agree it's all about the things that piss him off (not to mention pisses me off as well!) It's also about (in my view) the music industry.
For example the lines: "With the contracts and the bunk, and I always end up hearing, "hey, man, punk... Let's have more punk!" So here I am to do a favour, save some hassle kiss and tell. That either way my music's shit and it ain't ever going to sell"
I think he means here that maybe the music industry is trying to talk him into change in his format of music and I think his point here is "Well, if I do, what does it matter, because it won't sell regardless"
The lines: "So if you've got the gall to take this shit blown up your ass, and you've got the cash and balls to pump the same crap out in mass. Then hell, I'll stand aside and with your plans I'll never tamper, I'll sit and write you songs and be a fucking happy camper"
Think he's trying to say that if you have the balls to buy his "shit" music and you enjoy it, don't let me stop you buying it. I'll keep doing what I do for you (fans) because it makes me happy.
The lines: "Yeah, send me out a contract and in clauses you will lurk, the smaller points so I can give it all and save you work"
Obviously about the music business's corporate assholes who are destined to bleed you dry ("give it all") while they rake in the profit and glory ("save you work")
