Argument
2001
Album: The Argument
Album: The Argument
When asked about the meaning of the album's title by Guitar World in a 2001 interview, singer/guitarist Ian MacKaye described it (and the song title from which the album name comes), as "an anti-war manifesto."
MacKaye expanded upon this by stating, "A main point of the song is that I will not agree with war across the board. It also talks about a greater argument: that these giant airplanes are dropping tons of homicidal weaponry, blowing the shit out of everybody, and guys are running around with guns. And that is an argument of colossal scale."

Suggestion
1988
Fugazi
Canzone contro la violenza sulle donne e sull'idea comune che "se la vadano a cercare"
The Fugazi anti-rape track “Suggestion” is written from the perspective of a female, speaking out against sexual harassment and assault. At Fugazi show in 1991 at Washington, DC community hall, they asked Fire Party’s Amy Pickering to perform the visceral track to make the socially conscious track intensely more personal.
“Why can’t I walk down the street/Free of suggestion?/Is my body my only trait/In the eyes of man?”
– Fugazi. Suggestion from the self titled EP, released 1988, Dischord © (peyoteshaman, 2007).
Pickering recites MacKaye’s original writings and delivers the track ranging from a whispered inquiry to a raging accusation. “Suggestion’s” power and versatility was also demonstrated in 1988 at a show in Washington, mere days after a violent skinhead, white power demonstration... (Continues)

Smallpox Champion
Album: In on the Kill Taker (1993)
In questa canzone si denuncia l'orribile pratica utilizzata dai Padri Fondatori degli Stati Uniti per sterminare i nativi americani: le coperte infette con il virus del vaiolo.
A damning critique of early North American expansionism. The title of the song and the lines referring to "blankets, warm like the grave" are relating to when the founding fathers donated blankets deliberately infected with small-pox to thin the population of Native Americans. The line "This is the pattern cut from the cloth" is most likely a reference to the concept of America's foundations being frayed by early ignoble actions, leading to a tradition of corruption and deceit.

Fugazi’s “The Kill” is about the use of military and militarized police in the United States, at home and abroad, and a commentary on its racialized nature, written for their 2001 album The Argument, the political content of which MacKaye described as an “anti-war manifesto”.
