Waiting Room

I am a patient boy
I wait, I wait, I wait, I wait
My time is like water down a drain
Everybody's moving,
Everything is moving
Please don't leave me to remain
In the waiting room

I don't want the news
I'm not a part of it
I don't want the news
I have no use for it
Sitting outside of town
Everybody's always down
Because... they can't get up

But I don't sit idly by
I'm planning a big surprise
I'm gonna fight for what I want to be
I won't make the same mistakes
Because I know how much time that wastes
Function is the key
In the waiting room

- Fugazi, from "13 Songs", Dischord Records, 1989

I'ts available to download for 99 cent at the iTunes store or on CD at Dischord.

I went to their show for this tour back in the day and lost my shoe in the mosh pit. Totally worth it.

This song has everything: idealism, passion, hollering, good beats, driving bass line, screaming Marshall half stacks...
