Forever In Debt

This song is filled with labels, things that are sold, objects you advertise the sale of. Vans, rings, tattoos, Coke, and Beastie shirts. The boy in the ong is covered in all this apparel. When Maynard says that everything "you read and wear or see and hear on TV is a product begging for your fatass dirty dollar," he is telling the kid he is a walking advertisement, yet he dares to tell someone they are selling out. They are simply people trying to make petty cash off of things that aren't even theirs to sell. Maynard is mad at the "middle men" in religion who simply make profit off of somthing not to be sold. This could be a metaphor for someone trying to sell religion for his own want to become rich.
