This is one of the many songs on Degradation Trip about Jerry's experience in the music industry. You become a slave to that record label and before you know it, you really have lost every feeling that made you want to want to be at the top of the industry in the first place. Its a sentiment that has been echoed in songs from other artists for years, as so many have had their careers come to a screeching halt while at the top of it. Ironically enough, Jerry still dealt with this in trying to release this record in the first place. He finally found a label and they wanted to compromise his vision, only releasing the full 2-disc album as Jerry intended it to be based partly on the critical acclaim of the single disc, but even more so on the fact to cash in on Layne's death with AIC in the people's minds. And you will also notice that all those songs that are critical of the music industry and the lifestyle of being a big rock star were not found on the single disc... interesting indeed.

This about serious pwnage

Hmm, reminds me of my mom

It's about the music industry. The song uses a sex worker as a metaphor for musicians being abused by record labels within the music industry.
