Wargasm

I’ve been miss­ing my Bricks are Heavy cd by L7 for over a year. A cou­ple of weeks ago I found it under a shelv­ing unit and today I put it on. It’s truly a great record and in the light of the soon-to-be war against Iraq, the track War­gasm has a truth or two in there:

War­gasm, war­gasm one, two, three
Tie a yel­low rib­bon around the amputee
Mas­tur­bate watch it on TV
Croc­o­dile tears for the refugee
War­gasm, war­gasm one, two, three
Smutty, bloody pic­tures, ecstasy
Blue balls wait­ing impa­tiently
From Alca­traz to Lady Lib­erty
Body bags and drop­ping bombs
The pen­ta­gon knows how to turn us on
War­gasm, war­gasm one, two, three
Peo­ple, peo­ple, ecstasy
Wave those flags high in the air
As long as it takes place over there
War­gasm
Turn us on
Wargasm

(Ok, it not that damn pro­found — but hey, it’s a cool record. Chicks with gui­tars and all…)
