Notes

• The vocals in "Some Dispute Over T-Shirt Sales" are similar to those in the Ministry song "Jesus Built My Hotrod," possibly as an intentional reference as vocalist Gibby Haynes sang the vocals on that song. However, "Some Dispute" had appeared in the band's set lists as far back as 1990 under the name "Watlo," roughly a year before Haynes' vocals were recorded for "Jesus Built My Hotrod."
• The song "Strawberry" ends with an extended sample of a man speaking Navajo, the same sample can be heard in Manowar's Spirit Horse of the Cherokee.
