This is such a great and quietly cocky song. With hints of 'screw what everyone thinks'. It makes sense if you think about Josh Homme in general and some of the verses in 'Misfit Love' (His favourite song of the album) such as 'I'm born to win, i'm so sick baby it's a sin' and 'Sidewalks feel me strut so good'.
The first two verses are about not being bothered by what others say and just be proud of who you are - 'Got a question?' don't bother asking, not interested in what you think. Just be obedient and put the lotion in the basket (obvious Silence of the Lambs reference- you're beneath me). Then 'a square don't fit at all' - considers himself to be different to the crowd.
The 2nd verse: People telling him how he should sing, write songs, behave etc. (He's always been conscious of not fitting with the rest of music - watch the rolling stone interview about being a 'People person'). His response to them - Well, 'disappear man, do some magic', 'You aint a has been, if you never was'! (Nice!)
The final verse is also about people's opinions: people being scared of trying to achieve something in life, so they just slag everyone else off. Which he thinks is retarded.
Fantastic, underrated song. The beauty of Queens are that so many of their songs have different interpretations, that's what makes them so great.
