This is Pete's version of things, or at least a brief insight into what he thinks is/was goin' on.
I agree with paulleonard666 that it could come across harsh on Carl, who I love too, but bottom line is, if thats how it went down then what is can be said.
Another thing, it is harsh on Carl, but then maybe it isnt...
"I'll tell you my story
The treachery it bores me
Carl and McGee both promised me
It would not happen this way
Carl is kept sedated
The frontman elevated
And McGee doing all he can to ruin my band
And keep me out the way "
This is obviously the verse that pulls no punches, but to me its Pete sayin, all along they said they'd stick by me and McGee has ditched him... and tried to ruin his (Pete's) band. Carl just lost control. He never kicked him out, he just didnt stop it.
To me an especially important line is...
"I'm welcome back if I give up crack
But you gave me my first pipe anyway"

That gives you some more insight...
Pete I salute you, you are amazing.
