Bassist Liam Wilson explained to The Associated Press: “This is a song about keeping your priorities in order during an age when taking care of the luxuries and letting the necessities take care of themselves is often the default mode of thinking ourselves into a proverbial corner.” (Source Gold Teeth on a Bum Songfacts). "Gold Teeth On A Bum" is about people having their priorities out of order and the tone of the title was an homage to Tool's "Hooker With A Penis". (Greg Puciato)
