Target, by Fugazi

it's cold outside and my hands are dry

skin is cracked and i realize

that i hate the sound of guitars

a thousand grudging young millionairs

forcing silence, sucking sound

forced into this conversation

so i say shine and let their planets collide

this is the darkening down of my mind

we could be making it - oiling like crime

we could be making it - staking last dimes

if you want to seize the sound

you don't need a reservation

the torch is passed it's yours to return

lay at their feet now use it to burn

for marketing the use of the word generation

a false alliance of money persuading

forcing silence sucking sound

forced into this conversation

now if you want to seize the sound

you don't need a reservation

so open so young so target

i can smell your heart you're a target
