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
