Bikini Kill - Liar Lyrics

I love the fact that in the part where they reference John and Yoko's "all we're saying is give peace a chance" there's the main vocals singing softly about peace ( like John did) and there's a woman screaming in terror like she's being beat up, making reference to domestic violence (which John also did!)

It's all the same thing

THIS is rock 'n roll.

These chicks need help.

So do you...

Here on 9/28/18.... 🙄#ibelievedrford

This is some intense shi+.

Betty tiene la parte de atrás de su vestido arrancado todos los 
Mamá tiene su cara apagada 
Twist and Shout 
Su mentiroso 
Mentiroso,Mentiroso tienes los pantalones en el fuego 
Usted se beneficia de la mentira 
Usted profeta de la mentira 
Usted se beneficia de que el bebé se encuentran violación 
Comer carne 
Odio los negros 
Pega a su mujer maldita 
Es todo lo mismo 
Negar, que vive su vida en la negación 
De pie durante toda mi vida en el bebé juicio 
Deny Deny Deny Deny 
Todo lo que estamos diciendo es Give Peace a Chance ja ja ja

if you've ever eaten a chicken nugget you're racist and you beat your wife

Go vegan, go feminist and go not being racist

I just ate a hamburger while listening to this

My mom used to blare this song in the car when I was a toddler and it used to freak me out. Now I love it lol.

My son has always LOVED punk music!! Kids are all different. I just hope he continues to xx

If words were used to fight, KH would be the champion of the world

happy birthday kathleen

Drunk tank

@KurdtKobain09 i know your comment is 4 years old but I would like to point out that Kurt Cobain was a fan of Bikini Kill so i find you comment ironic.
I'm not trying to attack you personally I hope you realise just thought that it was funny

Egiyt yeah they were friends!! she is indirectly responsible for Smells Like Teen Spirit

Geoff Laser Ramsey

Did they mention this on something of Rooster Teeth's?

@Danny D
1:36 was Geoff's ringtone for a while.
They talked about it in one of the early RT podcasts (15 to 20 something), back when it was called the Drunk Tank.

@Rook3v Rad.

oh geoff

You're calling me and uncultured idiot, yet you call THIS music? You do see the irony in that, right? I mean these lyrics are SOOOOOO deep. *sarcasm*

Punk....

This is god aweful

fuck yourself

@Katie Weinstock no YOU go fuck yourself Katie.

How the fuck was this ever produced?

how were you produced? you should DIE

it was produced, because the song, is about u and DAF viewpoint

eat meat, hate blacks, beat your fucking wife, its all the same thing!

yeah like if you're stupid or insane

what are the lyrics between "you got your pants on fire" and "you profit from the lie"? please someone answer me, i have this wuestion for ages and google doesnt seem to bother to write down the right lyrics.

you're an uncultured idiot

holy lack of talent. some teach these cunts how to play instruments. and sing

Cry about it

HeavyHarris Why did you waste your time on this comment?

Only here since 1:37 is Geoff's ringtone.

this shit is the worst music ever

plants have feelings too so the new agenda should be to not eat like "Buddha Boy" of Nepal...proper radicals should look into this fellow

Hi, can you help me?! I was under so much pressure that I banged my partner's head against the ground 3 times, also I lie too much, also I would kinda have sex with her at times without complete mutuality I'm guessing. I think this song refers to her about 100 times more, but I still need help. I have a youtube channel, check out "Paper Moon" "War is Over" & read my comments. As karma goes I'm now engaged to Marilyn Manson who stands up for rape, beating your wife, etc. I love him, help.. Sally

Faggotcore

One of the true greats.

@reasonformirrors I believe when she originally wrote the song, it was "it's all connected" and she has sung that verse as opposed to the "it's all the same thing" verse on occasion. *insert The More You Know.gif here* :3

@shaystrikesagain Wow, it's like we're the same person! :P

@shaystrikesagain me too!

crazy wildanimal music. i lovee it:D:D

I'm pretty sure i'm not the only one that has noticed this, but while reading through the lyrics, i was paying attention to the homophones "profit" and "prophet" in the song and was thinking that it is possible, and even likely that when kathleen says "lie" as in deception she can also mean "lie" as in lay down because the song IS talking about rape.

CAN live without meat, CAN live without hate, CAN live without beating,
CANNOT live without BIKINI KILLl!

@LivesUnderABridge As a hunter you are an exception to this.

@LivesUnderABridge Vegetarian/Veganism isn't a rejection of biology, it is altruism. We do NOT contribute to the food chain, we grow our own food, feed it to animals and eat that animals, we could just eat the veggies, beans, fruits and grains we grow and live healthily without the suffering of another living being. Growing animals and eating them has little to do with Darwinism.

@LivesUnderABridge It makes you look like a hypocrite to eat dead animals and call yourself a moral person, I eat meat but I understand that it is immoral.

Pretty sure the lyric is "it's all the same thing," not "it's all connected."

When i first heard this song on Pandora i had my earphones on and then she starts screaming all insane lol, i almost fainted because i thought i was being possess lmfao.

@shaystrikesagain yay me too!

These lyrics are awesome...

I think the point is that it's all superiority. People who eat meat tend to think they're the superior being in some made up hierarchy. Same with racists and abusive men.

@JackSmith07 sometimes people need obvious and heavy handed to get the fucking point.

well...killing to eat, might be seen as worse than favoring skin color or hurting another depending on how you look at it of course.....

Eating meat isn't the same thing as racism and spousal abuse... That's always bothered me about this song.

yeah i agree

I don't know, I mean not really but then again isn't Speciesism just another form of Racism? Racism is the superiority of the white race over all other races, Speciesism is the superiority of the Human species over all other species, the biggest difference being races all have the same brain power (for the sake of the argument, things like slow mindedness and low intelligence capacity are omitted) while species all have different amounts of brain power, though some show a much higher capacity than even humans. I get how it bothers people, but I also get why she would say this, and how similar it can be. Imagine seeing masses of your own species suffering without a voice, would you be able to just stand by? Wouldn't you want members of the species slaughtering you to speak up against your slaying?

Yeah, Kathleen Hanna said she regrets this line. According to her, the purpose was to bring awareness on the intersectionality theory, but she said this wasn't a good phrasing

This song rocks hard.

I`d say it`s riot grrl!! (at it`s best!!) x

yay great
