I always thought it meant that her mother (maybe not Amanda's personally) would cover up her daughter's odd behavior with excuses, At first with denial, then with placing the blame on something else when it is the mother that is making her crazy with her snobbishness |

I think it's about how fame or money corrupts. at the beginning she's drinking and playing cards she loses and then tells the person to "pick a number" which could be the personalities she's mentions throughout the song. Then she toasts the ones who aren't up to the "poster girl"'s level, but were trying. Then she talks about the people that hated her, but then acts as if that was in the past and now that she's on their level she can laugh about it and about the ones who haven't made it. But at the end she stops being fake and points out that the people that are now in her class are truly the fucked up ones, and that the ones being made fun of were her true people. "... am I the poster girl for some suburban sickness better keep a healthy distance" she doesn't want her sickness, money's corruption, to effect the ones that she used to know, the real people |
