It consists entirely of cover songs and includes covers of artists such as Bob Dylan, Minor Threat, EPMD, MC5, the Rolling Stones, Cypress Hill, and Devo.

The album artwork includes a poem by Josh Koppel:
"I write messages on money.
It's my own form of social protest.
A letter printed on paper that no one will destroy

Like I do."
