This is such a great song. Why dont they play it more. Should be a staple especially with the rat scum that is running the country again. Lets get this back in rotation. Can I get an Amen?

    Because Ed always f*cks up the lyrics. Seriously, look for video of when it was played when it first came out. Love this song too. 
    Don't come closer or I'll have to go

    Yeah Ed doesn’t do it justice with flubbing the lyrics a bit. One of my favourites and would like it to be in more regular rotation.

    Ed started the Green Disease intro in Quebec but then quickly changed it to MFC if I remember correctly. Understandable mistake since it's pretty much the same intro just a half step up. That was kind of a bummer, but still great to hear MFC for the first time. Couple shows later i'm on the run fleeing from security along to Green Disease. Pretty fitting :lol:.

    Time has eroded my memory of whether or not Ed flubbed the lyrics, but I was at the Montreal 2003 show where "Green Disease" was played, so y'all might want to check it out.

    You can say that about moist songs on that amazing album.
