Artist: Fugazi
First song on End Hits

can't ask for more
so why unfulfilled
we take apart
everything we build
had it right here
but now it's gone
on and on

break


The lack of capitalization and the italics are faithfully reproduced from the lyrics booklet, but the links are obviously mine. Although this is a short song lyrics-wise, it's quite a bit longer in recorded form due to extended instrumental interludes before and after the main verse. The lyrics themselves also have meaning, despite looking so short. At their core, they are about the need for members of civilized society to seek the kind of excitement that is dangerous to the community and by doing so encourage the collapse of the entire civilization. Of course, this is just what I think. You are welcome to draw your own conclusions as well, and I'm sure that others can certainly be drawn.
