Hey you you're way ahead of me
You're drunk on apathy
You burned right out
Hey you you're just a cripple now

They sell for millions now
They sold you out
And oh I had to tell them you were gone
I had to tell them they were wrong

And now they're playing your song
Hey you don't take it out on me
You're bored of everything
You burned right out

Hey you so bored and cynical
It's fucking wonderful
They sold you out
And, oh, they've bought and sold it all,

It's gone
They've taken it and built a mall
And now they're playing your song
Ooh, their innocence tastes like candy, yeah

Get so fat on it, it's a tragedy, yeah
Ooh, I can help you come to me, yeah
Just bring your innocence to me, yeah
Hey you, don't you dare blame me

You trusted everything
They sold you out
Hey, you, now when they call it cool
It's just so mean and cruel

They sold you out
And, oh, they bought and sold it all, it's gone
And every note of it is wrong
And now they're playing your song

    I think think she's saying that he killed himself before he could sell out but it didn't matter because the media sold him out.
