| Heavens To Betsy – The Ones Lyrics | 14 years ago |

These are wrong. The real lyrics go as follows: "did you want it so bad? did ya have it, did ya have it built up in your head? did he hurt you just once? or more, or more, or more than you can count? I take it, I take it and go. I don't care, I don't care, I don't care anymore. just give me one chance and maybe and maybe I'll get out of here ooh... the ones who hurt you will not feel right the ones who hurt you will be a lie did you see me be you while we squirm, while we crawl, while we cry from being kicked? did i tell you "oh no, he's really, he's really, he's really okay"? I take it, I take it and go. I don't care, I don't care, I don't care anymore. i don't want to tell you I HATE I HATE I HATE yr boyfriend ooh... the ones who hurt you will not feel right the ones who hurt you will be a lie would you believe it was true? would you believe it was true? i do. i do, i DO! did you take it in stride or was it like candy did ya eat it inside? did i promise myself "it can't be this way for the rest of my life"? I take it, I take it and go. I don't care, I don't care, I don't care anymore. are you leaving? oh damn, i'm getting, i'm getting, i'm getting out now. |

| Sonic Youth – Kool Thing Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| Oh-- and when I say they WANTED to be there, I mean they actually wanted to take part in the actual activism, not just a hook-up. Angela Davis, anyone? | |
| Sonic Youth – Kool Thing Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| In response to the comments about the women in the Black Panthers, I can tel lyou that many of them WANTED to be there. But they were belittled and subordinated by their male counterparts-- which ties into the "Panther" and "Kitty" comment. Thus, I think the concept behind this song is to question patriarchal authority in all spheres, not just in white middle-class america but in the music scene, too. | |
| Black Flag – Slip It In Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| Yeah, it kind of disgusts me that they wrote sexist victim-blaming shit like this-- and that Suzi Gardner from L7 even agreed to be on this album! Catchy, but gawd the lyrics suck. | |
| Huggy Bear – Her Jazz Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I agree with des... Punk boys can be just as macho and bro as the bros themselves... I'll dig a little deeper with this and say it's about hetero encounters in the punk/anarchist movements, how everyone claims to be so against the state, and they claim to do whatever the fuck they want... But really, the power relations between the state and the people play out in the very relations between guys and girls in the scene. How punk guys carry their own privilege and power into the basic act of sex (and even in how they relate to each other as people), and oppress women by silencing them and using them. The girls don't see them as allies, but as oppressors in their own scene. Thank goddess* for riot grrrl. |

"All I ever wanted was to be your spine." That's my favorite line. How heavy is that? I agree with mechr00n01, right on point. |

I dunno, I'm getting a real high school vibe from this. You know, freshman/sophomore year before you "might drive home one day." Hah. (And I'm only saying this because it actually applied to me... Oh, nostalgia.) |

When he sings "don't-leave-home... again" It just makes me want to cry, every time. And then play it back. |

At the end of high school, we finally fell in love. Only to leave the other behind for the future soon after. This entire album mirrors the very pain I'm still feeling... I can't even pick a favorite song, it all applies so well. I love it and I hate it, at the same time. But only because it's so beautiful and true. |
