words words and expressions all these confessions of where we stand how i see you and you see me dedications of symmetry together we will be forever
promises are shit! we speak the way we breathe present air will have to do rearrange and see it through stupid fucking words! they tangle us in our desires free me from this give and take! free me from this great debate!
there were no truer words than when spoken let that stand as it should there was nothing left when broken we grab anything when we fall!
promises are shit! we speak the way we breathe present air will have to do rearrange and see us through stupid fucking words! they tangle us in our desires free me from this give and take! free me from this great debate!
you will do what you do and I will do what I do and we will do what we do rearrange and see it through you will do what you do and I will do what I do and we will do what we do rearrange and see it through rearrange
go where you think you want us to go do everything you were sent here for fire at will if you hear that call touch your hand to the wall at night go where you think you want us to go do everything you were sent here for fire at will if you hear that call touch your hand to the wall at night
promises! promises! promises! words! promises! promises! promises! words! promises! promises! promises! words! promises! promises! promises! words!

Fugazi is the shit! I grew up listening to them and many others like them. I really dig what Ian Mackay has done with them.\
"Suggestion"
Why can't i walk down a street free of suggestion? Is my body the only trait in the eye's of men? I've got some skin You want to look in There lays no reward in what you discover You spent yourself watching me suffer Suffer you words, suffer your eyes, suffer your hands Suffer your interpretation of what it is to be a man I've got some skin You want to look in She does nothing to deserve it He only wants to observe it We sit back like they taught us We keep quiet like they taught us He just wants to prove it She does nothing to remove it We don't want anyone to mind us So we play the roles that they assigned us She does nothing to conceal it He touches her 'cause he wants to feel it We blame her for being there But we are all guilty

It is my favorite tune by them. Coming in at a closi second is... "Repeater"
You say I need a job, I've got my own business You want to know what i do? None of your fucking business But now I'm lying here Knowing that business had a name, But now I'm a number 1 2 3 repeater Down by law, I've got this nasty habit When I need something I reach out and grab it Once upon a time I had a name and a way But to you I'm nothing but a number 1 2 3 repeater Did you hear something outside? It sounded like a gun Stay away from that window boy It's not anyone we know Only about ourselves and what we read in the paper Don't you know ink washes out easier than blood But we don't have to try it And we don't have to buy it Repeater
