Additional Information
Described by Jon:
That’s like a big, fat Nirvana riff, the most metal it gets on the record. That song came out of touring, constantly getting on planes and seeing ads like ‘Go Your Own Way’ followed by the little trademark sign. I find that shit really patronising. - NZGirl.co.nz
Lyrics
I bought myself today It's like they know what I think anyway We really make a meal of all the words they steal Then pin 'em up against the wall And thanks for your concern But I'll do my own facts and figures Then finish off the deal by keeping the shit real When you're not one when one's for all You don't need a trademark to go your own way (Leave me alone I'm not for sale) You don't need a trademark to blow 'em all away (Stand on your own or go to hell) You don't need a trademark to go your own way (Leave me alone I'm not for sale) You don't need a trademark no matter who say (Stand on your own or go to hell) So you can keep away from me Because I know where you've been So keep your shit away from me Because I know where you've been Am I worth the advert saying I'm free to be me? You don't need a trademark
