#"A Crack-Up At The Race Riots" (hidden) – 4:47The
hidden track 'A Crack Up at the Race Riots ' can be accessed by leaving the album to play or by fast-forwarding, after the last official song '1776.' Shortly after the 10-minute mark, the song will present itself; it is the 'fastest' sounding song on the album; and also the darkest. The name is based on a book byHarmony Korine and for legal reasons, the band couldn't include as a proper track.
