So Far, So Good…’s final track, “Hook in Mouth” is about censorship. Mustaine expresses his dislike of the Parents Music Resource Center (PMRC) who, in Mustaine’s own words, “were fucking around with our constitutional rights and trying to take away our freedom of speech”. The PMRC were responsible for putting ‘Parental Advisory/Explicit Lyrics’ stickers on his and other musicians' records.

The song also contains references to the George Orwell novel 1984, which is about a dystopian world where all freedom is abolished. In the book, there’s a government orginisation called Ministry of Truth. The people in this orginisation are set out to alter every piece of literature in order to make the government look better. History is changed, people are being created and erased, statistics and figures are changed, all to eliminate any negative feelings or opposition towards the government. Mustaine compares the PMRC to the Ministry of Truth.

The title “Hook in Mouth” refers to a fish being caught and having a hook in its mouth. This is a metaphor for the PMRC trying to have the music industry under its control. At the end of the song, Mustaine screams out to the PMRC that he’s not a fish, but a man.
