Minstrel Show- Yes, yes, there shalt be a reckoning. There's more violence and sex in records Muddy Waters made 60 years ago then there is in a 50 Cent or Lil Wayne record. It may sound like sex and violence but it's really what a board meeting of a bunch of record executive's sounds like. And there's nothing more sickening to listen to, or that I hate more, then that.

Hollywood- This song is about wanting to be famous or about wanting to be with a girl. It's half joking and half serious. Some of the lyrics are silly, but when you really want to be famous or you really want to be with a girl, to someone on the outside sometimes what you say can sound funny.

Under Your Possession- There's nothing I like better then getting high off pills. I started a couple years ago and plan to keep taking them forever. I get a lot more work done on them.

Choke This Republic Boys- For reporters, for network news anchors, for cable news anchors, for cowards everywhere. You may not know what you are, but I wrote this song for you because I know what you are.

K- I haven't seen her for a couple years. I wanted to marry her I loved her so much.

Have You Looked Outside- This song should have been recorded a little harder, sometimes I think I'll go and re-record it like that sometime. I used to play it with my old band in New York and we'd open shows with it. I kind of wrote it as a show opener but I wouldn't open it at shows now. Woody Guthrie had "This Machine Kills Fascists" written on his guitar, so that's where that line comes from.

Girls Touching Girls- I like the hook on this song, it's kind of hypnotic. I like being around girls.

Shots- There's a cello on this song. When I used to play it live I used to play it heavier, with more guitar distortion. I like how this came out though. I changed the lyrics a lot since I first wrote it. First it used to be about drinking and now it's also about religious stuff.

Traitor's Way- It's a question that's hard to answer. I think the answer is the human race, but you could also phrase it as "the human race or the ones you love" and then I don't know.
