The Dwarves Come Clean is an album by punk rock band Dwarves, released on Epitaph in February 2000.[1] It was reissued as a picture disc LP in July 2000 on the Cold Front label.[1]
The band offered the song "River City" to George W. Bush's 2000 presidential campaign, feeling that its chorus of "I want to rape the U.S.A." was appropriate.[2]

Steve Huey of AllMusic gave the album a 3-star rating, commenting on its departure into "catchy, garagey punk-pop tunes with jackhammer electronic beats," and calling it "one of their most intriguing albums."[3] Matt Le May of Pitchfork Media rated the album at 6.0 out of 10, describing the album as "trite, overused guitar progressions, incompetent pentatonic solos, and seriously fucked-up lyrics," but going on to say that "interesting sounds do occasionally pop up," and crediting the band for fully embracing "the role of fucked-up punk rockers."[4]
