Rise Against Re-Education Through Labor 45 RPM White Vinyl 7" Promo Record Mint.
Recorded in Fort Collins, Colorado and produced on bright, white vinyl.
"Re-Education (Through Labor)" is a punk rock song that opens with a heavy metal guitar riff. Lyrically, it is noted for being one of more politically motivated tracks from Appeal to Reason. According to McIlrath, the lyrics are about "the 9-to-5, dog-eat-dog lifestyle, and what we are asked to do to simply make ends meet nowadays". Some music journalists have discussed the song's meaning saying that the lyrics "strike out against the slow dumbing down of America" while some assert that the song accuses the then US President, George W. Bush, of fascism.
A limited physical version of the single was released on 7" vinyl and can be obtained exclusively by pre-ordering Appeal to Reason. This version also includes a B-side titled "Minor Threat", which is a cover of the eponymous song by Minor Threat.
Measures 7".
