Target, by Fugazi
it's cold outside and my hands are dry
skin is cracked and i realize
that i hate the sound of guitars
a thousand grudging young millionairs
forcing silence, sucking sound
forced into this conversation
so i say shine and let their planets collide
this is the darkening down of my mind
we could be making it - oiling like crime
we could be making it - staking last dimes
if you want to seize the sound
you don't need a reservation
the torch is passed it's yours to return
lay at their feet now use it to burn
for marketing the use of the word generation
a false alliance of money persuading
forcing silence sucking sound
forced into this conversation
now if you want to seize the sound
you don't need a reservation
so open so young so target
i can smell your heart you're a target

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official FUGAZI tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
