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.
Information gave me a choice,
Kill everything or more
I'm so very happy now,
According to my teenage whore
Hear my voice but it's not me,
I will always disagree.
Inhale then fade away
Everything's different today.
Now I got me a new religion,
It will get me into shape.
I've changed personality
The old one always made me hate
So comfortable to stand in line
Keeps the voices out of my mind
The real thing's never what it seems
In a world of a million lies
A million lies - A million lies
A million lies - in a world of a million lies
Those insects drove me mad
Always there to distract
To show my disbelief
I painted every fucker black
Want to crawl all over you
Suck the smell of your dirty skin
Who could ever ask for more
In a world of a million lies
A million lies - A million lies
A million lies - in a world of a million lies
Suck the dirt of my skin... [x2]
Information gave me a choice,
Kill everything or more
I'm so very happy now,
According to my teenage whore
A million lies - A million lies
A million lies - in a world of a million lies
[Repeat x3]
Suck the dirt of my skin... [x2]
Kill everything or more
I'm so very happy now,
According to my teenage whore
Hear my voice but it's not me,
I will always disagree.
Inhale then fade away
Everything's different today.
Now I got me a new religion,
It will get me into shape.
I've changed personality
The old one always made me hate
So comfortable to stand in line
Keeps the voices out of my mind
The real thing's never what it seems
In a world of a million lies
A million lies - A million lies
A million lies - in a world of a million lies
Those insects drove me mad
Always there to distract
To show my disbelief
I painted every fucker black
Want to crawl all over you
Suck the smell of your dirty skin
Who could ever ask for more
In a world of a million lies
A million lies - A million lies
A million lies - in a world of a million lies
Suck the dirt of my skin... [x2]
Information gave me a choice,
Kill everything or more
I'm so very happy now,
According to my teenage whore
A million lies - A million lies
A million lies - in a world of a million lies
[Repeat x3]
Suck the dirt of my skin... [x2]

Moyet later described how her song "Goodbye 70's" had been inspired by her disillusionment with how the late-1970s punk scene had turned out, saying, "'Goodbye 70's' is about punk and not caring how you were dressed, and then I discovered that so many of my friends that I'd thought it all really meant something to just saw it as another trend... That's what 'Goodbye 70's' was all about, about how sour the whole thing became."

The man has pseudo-friends who constantly criticize his actions. They moralize him, "teach" him and advise him to make a significant change in his life, because the way he is and what he does is not what they say it should be. They may find his life lame or immoral. They hold themselves up as role models. The man replies that he will make his own choices and decisions and he does not agree to unconditionally make himself under the influence of questionable quality advice. He justifies this by saying that there is always someone for whom he will be important, no matter what he does and no matter what he is. Although it is not said directly, I read it as meaning that he will always be important to himself in every way and he will always have his own support.
"Everyone is different and maybe that's a good thing, but you exceeded that mark 1000 times" - I remember very well how sad the words I once heard (from my peers and it was in negative context) at school made me feel.
I don't want another sorry
