I don't mean to make a scene
But even the mob know what the hell I mean
The knot is tight on my blindfold
I got my flesh full of blood
I hate rock and roll
Some think too much
And come too soon
I just curse the sun
So I can howl at the moon
Don't wanna love you no more
Don't wanna love you less
I wanna be crushed by your sweet caress
What's the fuckin' difference
We all gonna die
You gonna do something kid?
Oh come on give it a try
Got no big plans but a good idea
Let's split this town and run everywhere
Yeah I got enemies
But they don't know
They won't get no glory
On that side of the hole
Well united by drifting alone
This is the army of none
Got no flag, got no home
Just riches and scabs
And awfulness
I confess
Let's do it again, said
But even the mob know what the hell I mean
The knot is tight on my blindfold
I got my flesh full of blood
I hate rock and roll
Some think too much
And come too soon
I just curse the sun
So I can howl at the moon
Don't wanna love you no more
Don't wanna love you less
I wanna be crushed by your sweet caress
What's the fuckin' difference
We all gonna die
You gonna do something kid?
Oh come on give it a try
Got no big plans but a good idea
Let's split this town and run everywhere
Yeah I got enemies
But they don't know
They won't get no glory
On that side of the hole
Well united by drifting alone
This is the army of none
Got no flag, got no home
Just riches and scabs
And awfulness
I confess
Let's do it again, said

'Don't wanna love you no more
Don't wanna love you less
I wanna be crushed by your sweet caress'
This album came out in 2005, the same year this article appeared:

I think the title says it all. "You got a killer scene there, man." It just oozes sarcasm. And the line "Even the mob know what the hell I mean." My first thought was "This is a dig at Tim's behaviour and intelligence."
Also this verse:
Don't wanna love you no more
Don't wanna love you less
I wanna be crushed by your sweet caress
What's the fuckin difference
We all gonna die
You gonna do something killer
C'mon give it a try
To me it sounds like the first half is directed at Brody - This situation doesn't reflect on you, I want your love regardless- and the second half is directed at Tim for the death threats.
Also the lines about wanting to get the hell out of a town because it's pissing you off, the dig at those who think too much and come too soon... to me it just screams "Tim, shut your face, I'm not afraid of you. Bring it on." Even the animal howling... so primal, and not to mention so reminiscent of Howlin Wolf who as we all know, feared no-one and wasn't afraid to take charge of a situation.
He also mentions scabs - Tim Armstrong made reference to the photographs of Brody and Josh kissing as like a scab being ripped off of a wound of his. He also referred to Brody as a 'witch' in another interview I read. Tim and Brody were married in a Wiccan service in the mountains in Las Vegas.
I couldn't give a shit what it's about or the drama of the situation they all ended up in. But if I was a betting lady, I'd put money on this song being about Josh's relationship with Brody and some of the reactions to it he had to endure.
"What's the fuckin difference
We all gonna die
You gonna do something killer
C'mon give it a try"
could be about drugs. Like, what does it matter that we fuck ourselves up, we're gonna die anyway, wanna do something wild, do a line. But I don't know how much QOTSA sing about drugs anymore.
On that side of the hole'
The people who don't like what he's about dont bother him too much, he can get away from them easily. Even if they don't him, or his scene, or his music, they arent going to get any glory by not liking it, but while he's playing guitar and singing, he's getting glory, regardless of what the people against it think.
Kind of implies that he enjoys it a bit, he know full well what deal theyre getting.
