Cory: Why wouldn’t we?
Brandin: Yes, there was a lyric change due to Coca-Cola, it was either that or we couldn’t put the song on the album. Or they would sue us, and this was the only compromise that we could do to keep the song on the album. Even though we are pretty much opposed to it, it was just like, we had to do it. We would lose the song for one word.
