| this song appears 2 be about machine head's intolerance of any pathetic sonofabitch that dares to stand in their way-"Bulldozer crushes all". i know they're a metal band [a bloody awesome one at that] but that kind of "take no bullshit" attitude is pure rock n roll. i'm addicted to this song because it sounds like emo kids being crushed to death under the caterpillar tracks of MH's unstoppable war machine. so flynn & co. ARE the bulldozer. their music could kill a xtina aguilera fan at 20 paces, and god willing, that may happen sooner or later. ok i'm just babbling now, but MH are the greatest US band since metallica. | |

| This does show all those weak fans of machine head that they didn't sell out and all the other bullshit they said, they still own all | |

| Very, VERY cool song. I thought I was in for a mindless mosh-fest when I saw the title of the track, but damn, it rocks hard AND it's got some depth. Very inspirational lyrics, and nice use of the bulldozer as a symbol. The bulldozer in this song serves as kind of hero... the singer encourages us to be like the bulldozer, even though the bulldozer isn't heroic in the typical sense. It's a self-serving machine-- but it IS brutally efficient at what it does and let's nothing stop it. And I think that's the core message of the song... to never back down from odds and to challenge yourself. | |
