about

My friend Dan Pasternack wrote an incredibly sensitive, creative, and thoughtful essay about / around the ideas presented in "Functioning". I was incredibly flattered, but also stunned by Dan's ability to penetrate the subject matter (something that most people completely ignore when it comes to homemade / Punk music), and also his personal, incisive writing. The essay appears in his Zine, Deposit Vol. II, but can easily be read here:

You could probably also ask him for one if he has any left.

lyrics

It is not one's duty as a man
to perform coitus, on a woman
It is not one's duty
To be Functioning

Functioning
Functioning
What's My Name?
How do you spell it?

It is not one's duty as a wo-man
to perform fellatio on a man
It is not one's duty
To be Functioning

Functioning
Functioning
What's My Name?
How do you spell it?

J - E - S - S - I am not a man
I - I - I - I am not a man
I - I - I - I AM NOT A MAN!
