   As daron said on one of the live performances, 'this song's about being on the road'. It's all about the way the high-flying rockstars live and then fall from grace basically. Hence, the mention of drugs, whores and drunken madness - 'psycho, groupie, cocaine, crazy'...E.T.C
   a great random solo at the end too!

   It is about groupies. They are saying that you don't have to whore yourself out or act all crazy to meet them. Just appeal to thier interests.

   Clear anti-groupie song. Telling women that are groupies that they're not acting rationally. Hence calling their actions "psycho". Most of these women suffer from low self esteem and need to get high to be willing to do what is necessary to get back stage as I strongly believe if they were sober they wouldn't be so wreck less with their bodies, but they are so high and starstruck Serj sees it in their eyes. Clearly letting them know there's better ways than just being sluts. Commendable as most bands wouldn't try to infringe moral standards to their groupie fan base.

   I think this song is about how girls can act like whores thinking that they can meet or sleep with the band. These girls are prob on drugs or are just crazy. Music isnt about that stuff.

   It's obvious. It's about how you don't need to sleep with random people or start up a drug problem to be in a band|whatever. That's called influence, you don't need to do these things to be accepted, it could also make you look like a fool....

   Serj put up a post one time about what this song was about. It's about a psycho yogroupie that he was involved with for awhile but got tired of her. He then got her into cocaine and got her hooked up with a drug dealer and now she's left him alone because she's crazy on cocaine.
