She has like this power, and what I'm trying to say in the song is that basically so many bands knew it was wrong, but nobody would stand up and say anything because I think they were afraid of what would happen to them.
The other band on the bus with us, she was their tour manager who also works at their label, and they didn't want to say anything because they thought they'd be screwed.
I got cornered by a bunch of guys at the Warped Tour who wanted to fight me. They were like, "We heard you pulled some girl's pants downs and wrote swastikas all over her." I started laughing and said that I didn't know what to tell them, and I walked away.
