Bikini Kill - Reject All American Album Lyrics

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 f*ckin 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 f*cking drag

You are yr own worst enemy

If you see me
If you see me
Just go away
Just go away
If I run
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 ship
Or yr motor boat
Yr movie set
Or yr cartoon show
Not yr f*cking VCR
Not yr avante gard postcard idea

I'm not yr oilwell
I'm not yr blood bank
I'm not yr bullet proof vest
Or yr Visa card

I aint got no candy for you

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

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

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
Transcending space & time
Then I'll wait for you outside
Then I'll wait for you outside

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

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 who's f*cking gone

I hope the food tastes better in heaven
I know there's lots of rad queer boys up there
I hope that every time they talk to you
They know that they're lucky to be your friend

'Cause look
There's another boy genius who's f*cking gone
And I wouldn't be so f*cking mad, so f*cking pissed off
If it wasn't so f*cking wrong
It's all f*cking wrong
It's not fair, not fair, not fair, not fair, not fair

No one said life was easy
Yeah, but no one said
No one said that nothing's supposed to happen, right?
No, no one told me anything
To prepare me for f*cking this

There's another boy genius who's f*cking gone
Don't tell me it don't matter
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

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....

The Sylvia 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 girls who write must suicide?
Must suidide, must suicide
I've another good one for you
We are turning
Cursive letters into knives

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

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

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)

Yr face looks so familiar
Unwashed and quite peculiar
No i can't say that i recall
I guess it's gone

Tony Randall
Mary Tyler Moore
Molly Ringwald
Re-run shows

Robotic nation
False history spit out
Another picture of a girl with a gun
To bore me

Cartoon girl
Hallmark card
I see a punk club
He sees a strip bar

Somethings can't
Be photographed
Somethings can't
Be photographed

Regimented
Designated
Mass acceptance
Over rated

You'll succeed

Gets good grades
And plays guitar
Thinks he's cool but really is not

Red light stop
Green light go
I'm hearing voices
On my stereo
They wanna tell me something
That I don't already know
They wanna tell me something
Right now:

We're the girls with the bad reputation
We're the girls gonna make you pay
We're the girls with the bad reputation
We are gonna have our say

Time to go
Time to go
Time to go

Green light go
