Cover art for The Hard Sell lyrics by Coheed and Cambria

Wow, clearly mostly non-fans or noob fans trying to educate the masses. Don't get me wrong, some of you seem like you keep up on Coheed lore, but don't dig too deep for answers. The song is pretty much about what it sounds like. He is talking about the music industry and the people in it. First and foremost, Claudio writes based in events, people, circumstances, feeling, and the like, which pertain to contemporary life, such as it is for him at any particular time.

Claudio has been quoted describing the basis for this song. Google makes it pretty easy to find. Yes, it was molded to fit into the story afterwards, as most songs he writes end up.
