The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Don't tell me how to talk or how to live my life
(Fuck that shit, fuck that shit)
Every time I'm right a little part of you die
(Fuck that shit, fuck that shit)
Should I ever be punished for crossing the line
(Fuck that shit, fuck that shit)
It was made for those who can't think for themselves
(Fuck that shit, fuck that shit)
A little part of you DIE (16x)
You keep judging my ** ** what I fake
(Fuck that shit, fuck that shit)
I'm just a drowning maggot in your wallowed life
(Fuck that shit, fuck that shit)
You pretend to be god you tried to fuck me in the ass
(Fuck that shit, fuck that shit)
Consequence - I'll fucking shoot you in the head
(Fuck that shit, fuck that shit)
A little part of you DIE (16x)
Revolt
It's revolution
Bring out the guillotine
Revolt
It's the part of solution
Bring out the guillotine
Fuck that shit, fuck that shit (4x)
A little part of you DIE (16x)
Fuck That Shit
Revolt
It's revolution
Bring out the guillotine
Revolt
It's the part of solution
Bring out the guillotine
A little part of you DIE (8x)

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
I think the song is quite literally about "revolution" - as soon as people start saying "fuck that shit" about something it is generally the start of a revolution against said object.
