This song is about 'selling out'. Basically, Rancid saw first hand some of the record companies' games, and they knew the price. 2 sides coming in quick is reference to the two sides of the argument, 1 is sell out, the other is doing the same thing but getting more cash for it. Obviously, on an aside, Rancid was going to Epic records, the same record company as the clash, probably because it would hold a little more 'punk' credability. The 2nd verse is about how either way, he got famouse, and he wants to duck out.
