for what it's worth, i've walked miles
and i've seen the sun go down.
played my share of dues,
yet you still want to put me down..
started on the bottom tell me
why i feel here again.
it was at my expense, now you're cashing in.
make way for the boys in your town today,
dig in your pockets, they've got alot to say.
look up on the wall,
they'll have some shirts for sale.
another week has passed
can you keep up with the brand new scene,
the music's changing
with the constant tapping of my feet.
play it faster, play it slower,
you still don't know,
the music's not so important to you,
it's what you're makin' off the show.
starting from the bottom again.

Great band. To me this song is about some bands that "Start from the bottom" and pour their entire soul in to their music, only to be told they aren't good enough. Yet all these people that are just a pretty face get huge record deals and tons of fans.
maybe not necessarily that pulley weren't good enough, but that their music (as necessary as it was/is) was not cool around their town or time.
"it was at my expense, now you're cashing in" to me that line represents how there are bands at the way bottom of the food chain, so to speak, who are the true innovators that put a lot of time, money and love into what they do. unfortunately, there are nasty bands out there who do not work for their own originality and instead take the cheap, profitable, easy and "more effective" way out by stealing another band's shpeal and make money off of it. these rip-off bands cash in on the innovations of the other band, who have probably spent a lot of money on their efforts and did it for love.
I think I know what this song is about. This dude had another band called ten foot pole and he left due to greed and disputes. This is literally the first song pulley made so I think this Theory makes the most sense
@Fuckymcgee6942 and also I think start from the bottom is making a new band
