The song was released on July 18, 1995 via Reprise Records, as the first single from their debut album Short Bus . </P> <P> The song was written about the January 22, 1987, public suicide of Pennsylvania state treasurer R. Budd Dwyer . Dwyer had been convicted on bribery charges in December 1986, and was expected to receive a long sentence from U.S. District Court Judge Malcolm Muir . Professing his innocence and decrying the legal system, Dwyer shot himself with a . 357 Magnum during a press conference . </P> <P> Although singer and songwriter Richard Patrick frequently clarified this in interviews, as well as the fact that he had first written the song in 1991 before the band even had a record deal, the song's popularity was augmented by a widespread perception that it was about the 1994 suicide of Kurt Cobain . </P>
