This song addresses racists that hide behind their "Bulldog Front"; they dismiss all racism past slavery, "a historical, you think this shit just dropped right out of the sky?" and further refer to their ignorance, "let's knock to check to see if there's somebody home." MacKaye prompts a solution: "it's time to harvest the crust from your eyes." There's also identification of their shallow rebuttals- that they "act with precision [and] care/ But it's all attention to [their] armor."
