They've accused all iPod owners of being music pirates, yet paid $12m to settle a lawsuit by the State of New York for bribing radio stations to play songs by their artists. (tangent: I wonder if the radio stations were sued, too. I work in the industry.)
Also, they own Interscope and Island-Def Jam, two labels known for hip hop. I wonder if Josh was ever being considered by them...
I guess this song is about how people who work at a labor of love always seem to get fucked by the system, and the unethical and deceitful seem to rise to the top... something to which I, and hopefully a lot of people, can relate. (We won't get anywhere without numbers.)
I'm pretty sure it's "bag up the groceries"... but that's obvious.
