Editing Peace thru Vandalism (section)

Several of the songs on the EP deal with events from the band members' own lives, but presented in a humorous and lighthearted manner. "Urban Struggle" depicts the constant fighting that would occur in the early 1980s Los Angeles/Orange County music scene between the punk rock fans who congregated at a Costa Mesa, California club called the [[Cuckoo's Nest (nightclub)|Cuckoo's Nest]] and the [[country music]] fans who gathered at nearby Zubie's. The song received radio airplay on [[KROQ-FM]]'s [[Rodney Bingenheimer|Rodney on the ROQ]] program and was the band's first minor "hit" in the punk community. "The Legend of Pat Brown" is about a Cuckoo's Nest patron who was arrested after he ran over two police officers,<ref>{{Cite web |last=Bailey |first=Brianna |date=2009-01-17 |title=GOOD OLD DAYS: |url=https://www.latimes.com/socal/daily-pilot/news/tn-dpt-xpm-2009-01-17-dpt-goodolddays011809-story.html#:~:text=Another%20Vandals%20song,%20%E2%80%9CThe%20Legend,in%20the%20club%20parking%20lot. |access-date=2024-10-14 |website=Daily Pilot |publisher=[[Los Angeles Times]] |language=en-US}}</ref> while "Pirate's Life" tells of riding the [[Pirates of the Caribbean (theme park ride)|Pirates of the Caribbean]] ride at [[Disneyland]] while taking the drug [[LSD]]. "H.B. Hotel" is a cover of the [[Elvis Presley]] song "Heartbreak Hotel" with parodied lyrics. Perhaps the most well-known song from the EP is "Anarchy Burger (Hold the Government)," which became something of an anthem for the band and was played at their shows well into the late 1990s. The song gained renewed interest when it was mentioned in the 2002 [[Vin Diesel]] movie ''[[xXx (film)|xXx]]''. The track "Urban Struggle" has been featured in the film ''[[SLC Punk!]]'' and the show ''[[Jackass (franchise)|Jackass]]'', followed by [[Jackass Number Two|the second film]] and [[Jackass: The Game|game adaptation]].
