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

    Amazing song from a stunning band! ^.^ Kathleen Hanna has the attitude all girls should have. I played this for my ex when we broke up. Ahh, good times, man...

    Heh, bee63388, I remember that episode when they pick up the hitchhiker (Jenna Elfman) and they're reminiscing about all the female musicians of their generation who actually gave women a voice when they didn't really have the influence. One of the best conversations on that show.

    This song speaks for itself really. It is so powerful, her vocals give me a real Johnny Rotten vibe on this song. Amazing.

    This song is so fucking great. I always e-mail it to my friend when her boy fucks her over, it reminds her that she doesn't need him, could always get rid of him, but chooses to let him tag along.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
