Songfacts®:

  • This is a track from Apex Predator – Easy Meat, which is a concept album exposing slave labor in the modern world. The song is both literally and figuratively about people living in holes.

    Napalm Death frontman Mark "Barney" Greenway explained: "It is perhaps one of the ultimate indignities and one of those things that a blind eye is often turned to. The subject matter called for a very savage delivery, and although there are quite a few musical facets to this song, it doesn't stop letting rip."
