Black Me Out Lyrics

I think this song is about how it feels being on a major label. You're a whore to the record company. Against Me! left the label and they're releasing their next record on an own label. "I don't ever want to talk that way again, I don't want to know people like that anymore."

Their label basically ruined "White crosses" and I feel this song is a strong reaction and the band are trying to get their integrity back. Kick-ass song by the way. There's so much anger behind the line "I want to piss on the walls of your house".

Then again, their upcoming record is a concept album of a transgender prostitute, so I might be wrong. But there's nothing saying this song can't be interpreted in more than one way.
