This song is actually about a meeting with a record label that they turned down. "Pretending I'm respecting who I secretly fight". They wanted a 3 record deal but were offered a 2 record deal. They have always had problems with labels. they hate the business part of the music industry which ultimately drained and killed this band. Look at the names of all their albums under Elektra, "Throwing the Game", "Commitment"(in which the cover was a man in a suit chained to a suitcase). And some B tracks once off that i'm sure didn't make their albums. And their last one "How to Get Out Alive". Hey hated being under a label and it ruined what they had before they were signed.
