Really guys? This is obviously the only song you've heard from this band because you don't know anything about Justin Furstenfeld (lead singer/Song Writer). He suffers from bipolar disorder and at the time had a drug addiction. His wife divorced him and he's having a custody battle over his daughter, but that was after he wrote this song (the album "Any Man in America" tells that story). His life is shit so he overdoses, gets drunk, and almost kills himself; his mother knows all of this, but still continues to love and care for him. Justin however, doesn't think he deserves that and wants his mom to hate him for all that he's done.

I believe that is wrong a child is not a tool to hang over the father that's why he created the web site any man in America. when...

Aren't all artists somewhat bipolar ... You'Re right tho, it's the exact meaning of the song.
