In on the Kill Taker by Fugazi - Album Lyrics & Tracks

8 ContributorsFacet Squared LyricsAccording to Ian MacKaye in Joe Gross' 33 1/3 book about In On the Kill Taker, the word “facet” in the title is actually a homophone of an acronym for a key phrase in the song: “flags are such ugly things”…… Read More Pride no longer has definition

Everybody wears it, it always fits

A state invoked for the lack of position

 

Strength is the bait that keeps us so busy

If it's perforated, then I'll tear it to bits

All sense lost in the frenzy

 

They should never

Touch the ground

Ground

Ground

Ground

 

Irony is the refuge of the educated

Always complaining but they never quit

Cool's eternal, but it's always dated

 

They should never

Touch the...

Touch the ground

 

It's not worth, it's the investment

That keeps us tied up in all these strings

8 ContributorsReturning the Screw LyricsFine disservice

Deceptive, too

Check for the sender

Sender was you

 

Caught me wide open

No simple burn

This is complicated

Calls for return

From the arrow that it concealed

Sharpened, soaked in urine, it was

Meant to spread disease

But now discovered becomes

The sweet antithesis

 

Returning the screw

Returning the screw

Returning the screw

Returning the screw

Returning the screw

Returning the screw

Returning the screw

Returning the screw

It comes back to you

Distrusted

I look for wires when I'm talking to you

Distrusted

I look for wires when I'm talking to...

You'd make a great cop

Said you'd make a great cop

Said you'd make a great cop, you pig

 

Got a lot of questions for me

Got your finger pointing at me

 

Distrusted

I look for wires when I'm talking to you

Distrusted

I look for wires when I'm talking to...

You'd make a great cop

 

You'd make a great cop

You'd make a great cop

You'd make a great cop, you pig

You'd make a great
