Fugazi – Dear Justice Letter Lyrics
| 14 years ago
|
When I first heard this song, I had no idea who "Justice Brennan" was; and I figured, given the treatment he gets in these lyrics, that he was an a-hole.
I've since learned that William Brennan was the Antonin Scalia of his day, only on the other side. And so now, I'm troubled by these lyrics. Is Picciotto really condemning a man who did so much good for his country for retiring?
Also, what's meant by "shoot me lightly"? I'm fairly certain Brennan never uttered those words. |

Fugazi – Give Me the Cure Lyrics

I really don't think this song is about AIDS. I've always thought of it as a song about drug withdrawal. That said, the band really never talks about what their lyrics are about, so to say that it's definitely about AIDS or anything else strikes me as ridiculous. |
