Bikini Kill lyrics
THe Cd VerSion Of THe FirSt 2 Records
Double Dare Ya
We're Bikini Kill and we want revolution
Girl-style now!!!
Hey girlfriend
I got a proposition
goes something like this:
Dare ya to
do what you want
Dare ya to
be who you will
Dare ya to
cry right outloud
"You get so emotional baby"
Double dare ya, double dare ya, double dare ya
Girl fuckin friend
I double dare ya
I triple dare ya
Double triple fuckin
Dipple fuckin dare ya
Don't you talk out of line
Don't go speaking out of your turn
Gotta listen to what the Man says
Time to make his stomach burn
Burn, burn, burn, burn
(Double dare ya)
You're a big girl now
You've got no reason
not to fight
You've got to know
what they are
Fore you can stand up
for your rights
Rights, rights, rights?
You have them, you know.
Liar
Betty's got the back
of her dress all ripped out
Mama's got her face
muffled twist and shout
You're a liar
Liar, liar, you
got your pants on fire
You profit from the lie
You prophet from the lie
You profit from the rape
Lie baby
Eat meat, hate blacks, beat your fuckin wife
It's all connected
Deny, you live your life in denial
Stand my whole life on trial baby,
Deny, deny, deny, deny
(All we are saying is give peace a chance, hahaha)
Carnival
This is a song about the seedy underbelly of the carnival
The part that only the kids know about
This is a song about 16 year old girls giving carnies head
for free rides and hits of pot
I wanna go, I wanna go
I wanna go to the carnival
But it cots $16 yeah
I wanna go to the carnival
But I know it costs $16 now
Round, round, round...
Gonna lose $20 while I'm there
See the girls with the feathered hair
They're wearing plastic, not real leather
Boots that go way up to there
Round, round, round...
It's by the Lacey mall,
That's where you'll find me, yeah.
Suck My Left One
Suck my left one
Sister, sister where did we go wrong?
Tell me what the fuck we're doing here
Why are all the boys acting strange?
We've got to show them we're worse than queer
1, 2, 3, 4
SUCK MY LEFT ONE, SUCK MY LEFT ONE
Daddy comes into her room at night
He's got more than talking on his mind
My sister pulls the covers down
She reaches over, flicks on the light
She says to him :
SUCK MY LEFT ONE, SUCK MY LEFT ONE
Mama says :
You have to be a polite girl
You have got to be polite
Show a little respect for your father
Wait untill your father gets home
Fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, fine
Feels Blind
All the doves that fly past my eyes,
have a sickness to their wings,
In the doorway of my demise I stand,
encased in the whisper you taught me
HOW DOES IT FEEL? IT FEELS BLIND.
HOW DOES IT FEEL? WELL, IT FEELS BLIND.
WHAT HAVE YOU TAUGHT ME? NOTHING.
LOOK AT WHAT YOU'VE TAUGHT ME,
YOU'VE TAUGHT ME NOTHING.
If you were blind and there was no braille,
there are no boundaries on what I can feel,
If you could see but were always taught
that what you saw wasn't real.
HOW DOES THAT FEEL? IT FEELS BLIND.
HOW DOES THAT FEEL? IT FEELS FUCKIN BLIND.
YOUR WORLD HASN'T TAUGHT ME NOTHING.
LOOK AT WHAT YOUR WORLD TEACHES ME, NOTHING.
As a woman I was taught to be hungry.
Women are well acquainted with thirst.
Yeah, we could eat just about anything.
We'd even eat your hate up like love
WE EAT YOUR HATE LIKE LOVE, WE EAT YOUR HATE LIKE LOVE,
WE EAT YOUR HATE LIKE LOVE, WE EAT YOUR HATE LIKE LOVE
HOW DOES THAT FEEL? IT FEELS BLIND.
Thurston Hearts The Who
If Sonic Youth thinks your cool
Does that mean everything to you?
If you think Sonic Youth is cool and you
Think that they think that
You're not that cool
Does that mean everything to you?
Thurston hearts the who
How about you?
Thurston hearts the who
Do you heart the who too?
Thurston hearts the who
How about you?
Thurston hearts the who
Do you heart the who too?
It's 5am and we stayed out all night
We've got nothing to do
Except talk about you
Thurston hearts the who
Do you heart the who too?
White Boy
White boy : I don't think it's a problem cuz
most of the girls ask for it
Kathleen : Uh huh, how did they ask for it?
White boy : The way they act, the way they...
I...I can't say they way they dress because
that's their own personal choice
White boy : Some of these dumb hoes,
those slut rocker bitches walking down the street,
they're asking for it, they may deny it but it's true
Lay me spread eagle out on your hill, yeah
Then right a book bout how I wanted to die
It's hard to talk with your dick in my mouth
I will try to scream in pain a little nicer next time
WHITE BOY...DON'T LAUGH...DON'T CRY...JUST DIE!
I'm so sorry if I'm alienating some of you
Your whole fucking culture alienates me
I can not scream from pain down here on my knees
I'm so sorry that I think!
WHITE BOY...DON'T LAUGH...DON'T CRY...JUST DIE!
This Is Not A Test
This is not a test, this is not a test, this is not a test,
this is not a test
When it gets right down to the heart of the matter
When it gets right down to the bottom of it all
When it gets right down to the heart of the matter
When it gets right down to the bottom of it all
You're dumb and I'm not
I'm fat, I can't sleep
There's something following me
I'm fat, I can't cum cum
Your so blind you don't wanna see
Your fucked and I'm not
You don't make all the rules, yeah!
I know what I'm gonna fuckin do
Me and my girlfriends gonna push on thru
We are gonna stomp on you, yeah!
You're dumb, I'm not
You're fucked, I'm not
Don't Need You
Don't need you to say we're cute
Don't need you to say we're alright
Don't need your protection
Don't need no kiss goodnight
Don't need you, don't need you
Us girls don't need you
Don't need you to say we're good
Don't need you to tell us we suck
Don't need your atti-fuckin-tude boy
Don't need your dick to fuck
Does it scare you that we don't
Need you?
Does it scare you boy that we don't
Need you?
Don't need you, don't need you
Us punk rock whores don't need you
Jigsaw Youth
I can sell my body if I wanna
God knows you already sold your mind
I may sell my body for money sometimes
But you can't stop the fire that burns
inside of me
You think I don't know
I'm here to tell you
I do
You think I don't know
I know the truth
about you
Jigsaw, jigsaw youth
We go with the kids
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Jigsaw, jigsaw youth
We know there's not
one way, one light, one stupid truth
Don't fit your definitions
Don't need your demands
Not into
win lose reality
Won't fit in with
your plan
Resist Psychic Death
Your world not mine
Your world not ours
Your world not mine
Your world not ours
I will resist with every inch and every breath
I will resist this psychic death
I will resist with every inch and every breath
I will resist this psychic death
There's more than two ways of thinking
There's more than one way of knowing
There's more than two ways of being
There's more than one way of going somewhere
Silence inside of me, silence inside
Silence inside of me, silence inside
Silence inside of me, silence inside
Silence inside of me, silence inside
I will resist with every inch and every breath
I will resist this psychic death
Rebel Girl
That girl thinks she's the queen of the neighborhood
She's got the hottest strike in town
That girl she holds her head up so high
I think I wanna be her bestfriend
Rebel girl, Rebel girl
Rebel girl you are the queen of my world
Rebel girl, Rebel girl
I think I wanna take you home
I wanna try on your clothes too
When she talks, the revolutions coming
In her hips, there's revolution
When she talks, I hear the revolution
In her kiss, I taste the revolution
Rebel Girl...
That girl thinks she's the queen of the neighborhood
I got news for you, she is!
They say she's a slut, but I know
She is my bestfriend
Rebel girl, Rebel girl, Rebel girl
I really like you, I really love you
I really wanna be your bestfriend
Love you like a sister always
Soul sister, blood sister
Please be my rebel girl
Outta Me
It's about bein in love
It's about bein in hate
It's about not wanting to miss you
It's about wanting you dead
Push the walls open
I wanna see my memories bleed
No, I don't remember you ever loving me
I think that's your fucking fantasy
I think you want everything
Push the walls open
I wanna see my memories bleed
No, I don't remember you ever loving me
I remeber the back of your head
Leaving
And now I am quite sure you want
Everything, everything, everything, everything
Everything, everything, everything, everything
Outta me

Statement Of Vindication
Mirror Mirror on the wall
Whose the fairest of them all?
I don't I don't really care y'know
I don't I don't really care
I don't I don't really care
Like it's not that important at all
You made the rules
You wrote the script out
Don't blame me when you fuckin lose
Don't put the blame on me
You try to make me crazy
You try to make me scared
You try to make me crazy
I think yr a fucking drag
You are yr own worst enemy

If you see me

Just go away

If I run

Don't follow me
Just go away
Cuz I like you
But baby it's all wrong
Cuz I yeah I like you
But baby it's all wrong
If I run don't you think
You know what I want
It feels good
It feels good
It's all wrong
It's all wrong
It feels so good
It must be wrong
It feels so good
It must be wrong

Aint got no more
No more candy for you
Im not yr rocket shit
Or yr motor boat
Yr movie set
Or yr cartoon show
Not yr fucking VCR
Not yr avante gard postcard idea
I'm not yr oilwell

Or yr Visa card

I said I'm not yr vacation spot
I'm not yr footnote, freakshow
Or yr latest cause
I'm not yr view to a kill
I'm not yr background tune
I'm not the nutty story
That yr neighbors been telling to you
I aint got no candy for you
I said I'm not yr oilwell
I'm not yr dimestore novel
Or yr prison cell
I aint got no candy for you
Distinct Complicity
Determined by many
Determined by many
Determined by many
Determined by many
Chorus 1 :
Determined by many separations,
No controlling and understated,
Determined today by those of us
Who refuse to conquer hesitation
I don't see anything else in this room, I don't think so
Uh oh, oh-oh
You're already 22
Don't waste yr life in school
You could go back anytime
And I wanna see you on tour
Chrous 2 :
Determined by many situations,
Seemingly random considerations
Determined by those of
You who decide to do more than
Just sit on the floor
I don't see anything else in this room
I don't see you, no not at all
I'm walking down the street
I'm skating to the show
I wanna see yr band play
But there's no one here I know
Chorus 3 :
Determined by many separations
So controlling & understated
Determined today by those of us
Who refuse to conquer hesitation
I don't see anything else in this room
To prove me wrong
False Start
On a point in time-present undefined
And it's getting cold outside
Situation statistical for reasons you don't know
Just short of indecision
And it's getting cold outside
And it's getting cold outside
For yr own trepidation
Refer to new perspexion
See yrself as others see you
In reverse red can appear blue
Wanna go outside
Don't you wanna go outside
Tobi + Kathi :
Been stuck inside yr room
So stranded-like & full of doom all year
Time out for good behavior
Adds up to what you want it to
What you wanna, what you
Wanna do
What informs a motivation
Casual or obligation-ficticious circumstance
Suspending all yr future plans
Wait for you outside
If this false started motion
Believes its own propulsion
Tran-sending space & time
Then I'll wait for you outside
Then I'll wait for you outside
Tobi + Kathi :
Been so long since I've seen you
So much has changed, you sound the same
We're meeting at this place, I wanna see you,
See you race again
We're all waiting, we're all waiting here
R.I.P. (rest in pissoff-ed ness)
I can't say everything about it
In just one single song
I can't put how I feel in a package
And sell it back to everyone
But wait
There's another boy genius whose fucking gone
I hope the food tastes better in heaven
I hope every time they talk to you
They know they're lucky to be yr friend
Cuz look
There's another boy genius whose fucking gone
And I wouldn't be so fucking mad so fucking
Pissed off if it wasn't so fucking wrong
It's all fucking wrong
It's not fair, it's not fair, it's not fair
But no one said life was easy
Yeah, but no one said, no one said
Nothing's supposed to happen right?
No, no one told me anything
To prepare me for fucking this
There's another boy genius whose fucking gone
Don't tell me it don't matter
Don't tell me I've had three days to get over it
It won't go away
It just won't go away
No Backrub
Lung cancer
No time
Lots of stress
More fear
Self pity
Headache
Lots of guilt
No sleep
These are the things I give myself
No pleasure
No time
Don't need to
Feel fine
Dirty kitchen
Broken car
Trying to breathe in
Thru a scar
These are the things I give myself
Loads of execution
Loads of execution
Loads of execution
These are the things I give myself
BEEN PROGRAMMED TO
SELF DESTRUCT....
Bloody Ice Cream
The Slyvia Plath story is told to girls who write
They want us to think that to be a girl poet means you have to die
Who is it that told me all the girls who write must suicide?
I've another good one for you,
We are turning cursive letters into knives.
For Only
An image from a long, long time ago
Is haunting me, it plays itself
With picture perfect clarity
A certain walk, a certain talk
Forever twenty-three
For only me to see
CHORUS: I watch it like a movie
The details so consume me
What's real will surface when it's gone
(And then it's gone)
By now you've heard the news
What is there left to do
CHORUS: I watch it like a movie
The details so consume me
What's real will surface when it's gone
(and then it's gone)
Your face looks so familiar
Unwashed and quite peculiar
No I can't say that I recall
I guess it's gone
