"Nice New Outfit" -- Fugazi, 1991

You like the cut, you like the fit -- Wide in the shoulders and trim at the hips.

What a nice new outfit -- all straight clean lines. There's blood in your mouth, but not in mine.

You think that I'm a sucker for it, that we're all fodder for this. Quick purchase once brought to market -- dress it up and it's sold.

The place I'm offered is a bedsitter's tour, a worthless sightsee of your adventure. In your nice new outfit, all straight clean lines; There's blood in your mouth -- dressed to the nines.

You're number one with a bullet. That's money well-spent. Your mouth plastered like poster -- address yourself success. You can pinpoint your chimney and drop one down its length.

In your nice new outfit -- sorry about the mess. In your nice new outfit you're a fuckin' mess.

After reading some of the trashing of people's looks and clothes purchased at Walmart, etc. on the list, I'd pretty much figured I'd probably rather not ever meet anyone in person on this list unless I had some finery to wear for the occasion. sheesh."
