This song makes fun of people who are anti-mainstream. People who accuse bands of selling out all the time. Someone posted these lyrics incorrectly, however. In the beginning she says, "Yeah, I know you wanna kill the rock stars." That could be a reference to the record label, Kill Rock Stars, and all the Riot Grrrls. Kathleen Hanna accused Kurt Cobain of selling out, and this song is like Courtney's big f-you to anyone who accused her or her husband of selling out. She is saying, "Yeah, I know you claim to be so anti-mainstream, but you're really not. Cuz if you had the chance, you'd want to try to be famous too."
