The Bush Administration is A Projection Into Our Dimension of Songs From a Fugazi Album

[Leopolds Ghost]

Iraq accused of stockpiling biological weapons; "Mobile weapons
labs", declares Powell

Iran accused of aiding extremists in Iraq; threat of a wider war


When they start falling/
Executions will commence.
Sides will not matter then/
Matter makes no sense.

How did a difference
Become a disease?

I'm sure you have reasons/
Rational defense.
Weapons and motives/
Bloody fingerprints.

But I can't help thinking
Still of disease?

(Here comes the argument...)

(It's all about strikes now)
So here's what's striking me
That some punk can argue/
Some moral A.B.C's

When people are catching
What bombers release!

Well I'm on a mission
To never agree!

Here come's the argument/

Here come's the argument/

HERE IT COMES...

(Fugazi, "Argument", _The Argument_ CD, August 2001)

Iraq 'a comma' in the war on terrorism, declares Bush


(He used to pretend)

He was fighting some war somewhere/

And everything depends/

On fighting some war/

He never thought he'd be a...

An Exclamation Point!

A Demonstration of His Disease!

A Punctuation Mark!

A Household Name with H.I.V!

Still, it's just still... sound...

(Fugazi, "21 Beats Off", _In on the Kill Taker_ CD, 1992)

FOX News proclaims Global War on Terror


Autonomy! in a world of difference/ they're creeping round but you

know they can't come in!

Back from the front/

With observations IT'S STILL THERE

Across from me! an extreme example/ bringing you what they want yeah

24 hours a day!

Whole lot of not/

But it's convenient PRAY FOR FIRE

(bringin'ya bringin'ya bringin'ya)

THEY'LL TELL YOU ANYTHING!

IT'S SPECULATION! IT'S SPECULATION!

THEY'LL TELL YOU ANYTHING!

THEY'LL TELL YOU ANYTHING!

(bringin'ya bringin'ya bringin'ya)

Bringing you bringing you bringing you back to base!

(Fugazi, "Back To Base", _Red Medicine_ CD, 1994)

-----

Dean should be fired, declare Democratic Strategists


Lights out!!! for the cynical sharps/
For their wide-eyed foils and all attendant props!

Supporters of FLASH and Pan-fried Fucks/
who grease like cops,

throwing 'round their body weight and...

oh I feel dangerous and vexed/
Swinging two-ton second-guess/
And everything just cuts so... so cruel, so cruel

And the implication...'s

That you're implicated...

Like a caustic acrostic

SPELLING OUT YOUR NAME!

and you're nowhere

Lights out loser

(Fugazi, "Caustic Acrostic", _End Hits_, 1998)

AG Conzales: Warrantless Wiretapping Issue Resolved

US Should Test Microwave Weapons on Crowds, General says


(hey!) what's your name...?
do you feel the same...?

(siphon fuel, don't make a sound)
And most of all don't let me down.

(it comes as no surprise)

(it comes as no surprise)

We're destabilized!!

(hey!) lock eyes shared plan...
no CIA... could understand.

Defile define, critique and salve.

(it comes as no surprise)

(it comes as no surprise)

We're destabilized!!

(Critique and salve me baby.)

no CIA.

(it comes as no surprise)

no NSA.

no satellite...!

could map our veins.

(Fugazi, "No Surprise", _End Hits_ 1998)

"I intend to stay the course even if only my wife and my dog support me" --Bush

This is a Birthday Pony.

This is a Birthday Pony.

This is a Birthday Pony/

This is a strange kind of REST.

Because I feel like a GUEST.

When I'm -- right here at HOME...

I'm not --

right here at... home

---

I opened up these Accounts.

All these... separate Accounts.

Because I can't compreHEND

The single ride to the END.

I NEEDED something to do!

And so I split into TWO!

But now the pattern takes HOLD

I FIND I'M LOSING CONTROL!!!!!!!!!

LAUGH BOY, HA HAHA HA HA!!!!!!!!!!

(this is a birthday pony this is a
birthday pony this is a birthday pony
this is a)
