    Ben was the name of the pet rat in the movie "Ben". The movie's title song "Ben" was written and performed by Michael Jackson, hence the Michael Jackson reference in the live version played on the famous Dissident CD's from Atlanta.

    Take a REALLY CLOSE look at the lyrics. They're so perfectly true.

    That is why society is fucked, and it is why I have no time for general public.

    If riot act teaches us anything it's not to lose hope on the general public. It's amazing to watch the growth of Eddie through his music.
