In “Cherub Rock,” Corgan finds himself suddenly associated with a counter-culture that he never identified with or was included in. He accurately paints a picture of the volatile music industry at his time with his signature sarcasm intact.

[Verse 1]
Freak out and give in
Doesn't matter what you believe in
Stay cool
And be somebody's fool this year
'Cause they know
Who is righteous, what is bold
So I'm told
[Pre-Chorus]

As long as there's some money
Who wants that honey?
[Chorus]
Let me out
Let, let me out
Let, let me out
Let, let me out
