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.
Bell on the door ring, come on in
Floyd observes my hairy chin
Sit down in the chair don't be afraid
Steamed hot towel around my face.
I'm ashamed
I'm ashamed
I'm ashamed
Barney ties me to the chair
I can't see I'm really scared
Floyd breathes hard I hear a zip
Pp pressed against my lips
I was shamed
I was shamed
I was shamed
I sense others in the room
Opie Aunt Bea I presume
They take turns and cut me up
I die smothered in Andy's clutch
I was shamed
I was shamed
I was shamed
Floyd observes my hairy chin
Sit down in the chair don't be afraid
Steamed hot towel around my face.
I'm ashamed
I'm ashamed
I'm ashamed
Barney ties me to the chair
I can't see I'm really scared
Floyd breathes hard I hear a zip
Pp pressed against my lips
I was shamed
I was shamed
I was shamed
I sense others in the room
Opie Aunt Bea I presume
They take turns and cut me up
I die smothered in Andy's clutch
I was shamed
I was shamed
I was shamed
