"Rip It" features quick vocals that would almost cause listeners to over look it's politically inspired lyrics making references to the French ("the French sent us a copper lady long since turning green") to our current oil crisis (burning 50 million megawatts of gasoline). The song is closed out with a clever yet at points laugh-worthy rhyming of �otion words ("�drink the potion, use the lotion, drain the ocean�"

"Feed My F***in' Habit" and "White Train" are blatant references to the band's love of and, likely, experiences with the rock life style and the silver (errr, um, white) lining that can come with it. The former song features disco inspired vocals along with shredding guitars while the later is loaded with references to the dark side of drugs.

"When I Get To The Green Building" is the most mainstream friendly song on I Shall Exterminate but it won't alienate the Electric Six's current fans like many songs that are inserted onto an album simply to make it marketable do. Had the song been laced with happy, poppy lyrics fans would likely frown upon it but while the song itself is more somber then the rest of the album the lyrics stick to cynicism and criticism of society ("isn't it interesting to watch them play the game? When they're all such cheaters and have no shame").
