Cover art for The Kill lyrics by Fugazi

I think it's about capital punishment...sounds like it's a person lying on the table just about to get a lethal injection - sodium pentathol is used for lethal injection. born into race and nation - could be that he was born in a bad neighborhood, cull memory for assimilation - reference to the anesthetic. Secure future generations - this could have a double meaning - secure as in "safe" taking the crime off the streets, which is the argument for capital punishment and it could also mean secure as in "ensure" that nothing really changes in future - the cycle of being born into a life of crime. I'm not a citizen - could refer to the fact that you are stripped of all your rights when you are given the death pentalty. Also, song's called "the kill" so it has to be about some sort killing.
