The song reached number 37 on the ARIA Singles Chart[2][3] and also charted in the US, peaking at number 26 on the Hot Modern Rock Tracks.[4]

Billboard's Keith Caulfield described it as a "rollicking, politically tinged track" which is "crisp and on-point in its full throttle production".[5]

The song appeared in the television commercial and soundtrack for Michael Moore's 2004 documentary film, Fahrenheit 9/11.
