Title of EP
The title Takers and Leavers is from a poem recited at the end of Livin' a Dream, the final track of the EP.
Well, I know there's always been greed and green acres, and war and peace makers. And then there's your takers and your leavers, your havers and your needers.
The poem was written by Dr. Dog's Scott McMicken.
