about

You know how music really impacts you at a young age? Maybe even gives you a blueprint for living? An ideal to aspire to? And then, life happens… you muddle thru. And sometimes you wonder – am I living up to those ideals? Yet, even if you are doubting it (or even doubting whether having your belief around a band was a good idea in the first place), sometimes you can put that music on, and it takes you back, re-inspires you, even if just for a while. THAT is was this song is about. A duet between The People Between's Jim McGuinn Slusarek and Christy Costello, with help from TPB contributors Nick Petropoulos (The Mess Around), Joe Greenwald (The Dirtbombs), H. Eitner Miura, and Saint Small's Jimmy Olson.

lyrics

Throw up
Grow up
Get a job get a house get a wife and a car
I want more
At 44
Then this life is giving me now

When I had next to nothing
I never had a doubt
Now I'm working for the man
And man, it feels like selling out

Fugazi Friday
I don't want to work today
Fugazi Friday
But we all got bills to pay

14
High school
Flipside and Maximumrocknroll
Skateboard
Dischord
Straight edge - working on self-control

When I had next to nothing
I never had a doubt
Now I'm working for the man
And man, it feels like selling out

Fugazi Friday
I don't want to work today
Fugazi Friday
But we all got bills to pay

The boss is finally gone...
A brief escape - the grind awaits
Time to put Repeater on
The boss is finally gone...
A brief escape - the grind awaits
Time to put Repeater on

$5 bucks
Meant so much
Every show we renewed our vows
We believed
In record sleeves
Don't know if it matters now

When I had next to nothing
I never had a doubt
Now I'm working for the man
And man, it feels like selling out

Fugazi Friday
Let's not go to work today
Fugazi Friday
We still got something to say
