Cover art for Fuel lyrics by Ani DiFranco

starmile is probably right, but I always imagined it as being connected with the few lines before "you can choose between the colors of the lipstick on the whores cause we know the difference between the font of 20% more and the font of teriyaki" I thought she was using the word "font" in the same way as someone would you "color," because the "nice," expensive lipsticks are always named things like "teriyaki" and who cares what the cheap one is called. I figured it was just a comment on our society's obsession with what's popular rather than what actually matters (rather than "spitting on the past")
