Track list: 

... with Sleeve Note descriptions

  1. Crap-Rap: Unemployed? Unhappy, ashamed? Why should you. It's your life, so why not live it the way YOU want it.
  2. U.S.Hole: The Great Communicator indeed, condemned to repeat what he refuses to remember. "Vietnam? Great   movie." Stuck his big nose into Central-American affairs. But it's not cancer, Pinocchio!
  3. Pleased to Meat You: Science, progress, civilization? Big words, good ideas, ... but man created destruction instead.
  4. Scrub that Scum: You thought you missed all of that trendy shit when it was around? Supri-i-ise: it's a couple of years later, here's the new thing, wow! the smell remained the same.
  5. Choice: Vote! Or don't vote! But I don't give a fish. Fish?... f**k! (PS - note that the word FUCK does not exist at the BeepBeepC.)
  6. Hands Up! You're Free: Justice at the wrong side of the gun, people drugged by consumerism, Adolf Mercury is Bing at the party in McDonald's junkyard, the word is GOOD TASTE SUCKS, and war is in the charts again. Awopbopaloobopabigbangboom.
  7. Butter or Bombs: We know what we want, but we don't know how to get it. Because, they ARE deaf and they DON'T care.
  8. Uh-Oh Africa: "we are the worst?" "Do they know it's carcass-time?" A fresh handful of rice brought to you by NAME! PHOTO! PRODUCT! BANK-ACCOUNT! But if you really want to feed the world, feed the world. Not your pathetic ego.
  9. Knock: Umpteenth counter, other building, wrong form, next queue.
10. Ignorance: Where have all the rebels gone? Some people don't hate their parents anymore. Simply because they have become their parents themselves.
11. A Job/Stupid: More dead than alive from nine to five? Always told what to do, the same routine every day, bored to the bone BUT a Respectful Member of Society? Just sounds stupid.
12. Business As Usual: Hey popstar, old slogans never die! But if you really believe in what you're saying, then what the fuck you're doing on the stage. Revolution sells? You're selling the revolution.
