Guys, this song is for the fans that are saying that they're "selling out."

"So fuck you, you can go cry me an ocean And leave me be"

This is directly being sang for those fans. He's saying, "You think we're changing? You can cry all you want. This is how we are now. Accept it or leave us alone."

"You are what you love Not who loves you"

This means that they're doing what they want to do, and they're happy doing it. They don't care about what the fans are saying.

"Wherever I go, go Trouble seems to follow"

This is again referring to how the fans think they're selling out. How they're finally back, but people still aren't satisfied with them.

"I only plugged in to save rock and roll, rock and roll"

The title of the album is sarcastic. They know this isn't rock and roll. It's just implying that they've changed. So, this is sort of saying that they're going to stay like this - far from rock and roll.

"Oh no, we won't go 'Cause we don't know how to quit, no, no"

Finally, this is saying that they are going to continue making music, because they "don't know how to quit." You can interpret that any way you want to.

That's just my interpretation though. I could be wrong, of course.
