Agreed. That's one of the things I like most about Fugazi. The lyrics aren't like 'FUCK THE GOVERNMENT, MAN!!!'. They're a bit more cryptic, more subtle, and much more personal. It's been said a lot about Fugazi (with good reason) that for them the personal is the political. I've always been fond of that idea. I think quite a few of their songs are very introspective, but can be seen in a much broader context too.
That said, I do enjoy overtly political bands as well. For instance, I love the DKs. And one reason I love em is just because they were so over the top, and sarcastic, and in your fucking face about their politics.
