Songfacts®:

  • This song from the second Murderdolls album, Women and Children Last, was written by their lead singer Wednesday 13 and multi-instrumentalist Joey Jordison. Murderdolls released their first album in 2002, and that experience led to this song. In our interview with Wednesday 13, he explained: "It was about how I got a bad taste in my mouth from the business side when that first Murderdolls album ended. I wrote it about the whole system and how it works in the music business, or it did at that time."
  • This was the last single the Murderdolls released, and also the last video they made. The video was prescient: it shows the band driving off a cliff. "Every time I see that it all makes sense," Wednesday 13 told us. "It's not like a depressing song or anything, it's one of my favorite songs I've ever written. But it's just got a weird sentimental vibe to me now when I listen to it, because it's almost like I wrote it and it was like I was predicting what was going to happen."
  • Wednesday started writing this song in 2003. Originally titled "Brand New Hell," he planned to use it for his 2005 solo album. When he played Jordison the demo, he was surprised when his bandmate liked the song and wanted to use it for Murderdolls.
