This song is Swift's response to the negative reputation the media has given her.
"I can make the bad guys good for a weekend" - the bad guys are the paparazzi to Swift, but are good to the "player" since association with Swift immediately gives publicity. Any publicity is good publicity and Swift knows this.
"You can tell me when it's over" - the tabloids rumor relationships are over before the couple announces it officially.
With this song Swift is portraying the way she is portrayed by the media.
It is a sarcastic jab at how she views herself and how her "ex-lovers" only wanted to be with her to increase their fame.
I applaud the brilliance in writing about how you always write about relationships.
It is expected so Swift is giving the media what they want and profiting off the attention.
So you scrimp and you save all your dollars for quarters
March to the arcade, you can't pause, you can't save
The levels are harder, it's getting expensive
You spend your whole day and that's how they get you
The stories get darker, the companies smarter
Nintendo helps bring the arcade to your home
The games are so easy, you buy more and more
No consequences and that's how they get you
So hopefully we've learned where all the power lies
It's not skill, it's not brain, they let you win or save your game
But your hand-eye coordination is probably much worse
Helping is hurting, and that's how they get you
March to the arcade, you can't pause, you can't save
The levels are harder, it's getting expensive
You spend your whole day and that's how they get you
The stories get darker, the companies smarter
Nintendo helps bring the arcade to your home
The games are so easy, you buy more and more
No consequences and that's how they get you
So hopefully we've learned where all the power lies
It's not skill, it's not brain, they let you win or save your game
But your hand-eye coordination is probably much worse
Helping is hurting, and that's how they get you
