Al Jourgensen shared this about the song: “Just like you or anybody else, I’m simply a passenger in this lifetime. I’m watching social changes, political changes, and economic changes, and I comment on them because I do have a First Amendment right. A lot of people say artists and athletes should shut up and play ball. No, I’m on this trip, too. If I see something, I say something. That reflects on where each album goes. Instead of staying sedentary and singing about broken relationships, inner turmoil, or whatever is hurting this week, I comment on what’s going on from the perspective of a fellow passenger.”

The video was directed by Dean Karr.

The album features contributions from Gogol Bordello‘s Eugene Hutz, Jello Biafra, and Corrosion of Conformity‘s Pepper Keenan, as well as a cover of Fad Gadget’s protoindustrial synth classic “Ricky’s Hand.”
