Guy Picciotto, Fugazi vocalist/guitarist: "For me punk music or whatever is always about undercutting people's expectations and throwing a spin in the works or whatever. For me, I want this band--I mean if this is unsettling people, I'm ready to really unsettle people because I want the sound to always be moving. Anything starts getting static, I start getting uncomfortable because I feel like what happened with hardcore or whatever is that things get so ritualized that they're no longer powerful, they lose their power, they're not dangerous anymore, they don't excite people, they don't move people anymore, they just become some kind of a traditional thing which people can slip on the clothes and slip on an attitude but for me it's a life thing, man, and if it's gonna be a life thing for me it has to always be constantly moving forward and have a time thing with dimension to it."
NO LIFE
I'm ready to go
I'm ready to blow
God go get a rock
and get ready to throw
It's been a time
It was a nice try
But this experiment needs to die
Look around and see what we have wrought
Wars we've fought and battles we have not fought
Everyone is someone else's bitch
A twisted game designed to make the rich rich
Save us from ourselves
This is no way to live
