Reject All-American

Bikini Kill Reject All-American Lyrics
1.Statement Of Vindication

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 important at all
You made the rules
You wrote the script out
Don't blame me when you fuckin 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 your a fucking drag
You are your own worst enemy


2.Capri Pants

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
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


3.Jet Ski

Ain't got no more
No more candy for you
I'm not your rocket ship
Or your motor boat
Your movie set
Or your cartoon show
Not your fucking vcr
Not you avantegard postcard idea
I'm not your oilwell
I'm not your bloodbank
I'm not your bullet proof vest
Or your visa card
I ain't got no more candy for you
I said i'm not your vacation spot
I'm not your footnote, freakshow
Or your latest cause
I'm not your view to a kill
I'm not your background tune
I'm not the nutty story
That your neighbors been telling to you
I ain't got no candy for you
I said i'm not your oilwell
I'm not your dimestore novel
Or your prison cell
I ain't got no candy for you


4.Distinct Complicity

Determined by many
Determined by many
Determined by many
Determined by many
Determined by many separations
So 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 your life in school
You could go back anytime
And i wanna see you on tour
Determined by many situations
Seemingly random considerations
Determined tonite 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 your band play
But there's no one here i know
Determined by meany separations
So controlling and understated
Determined today by those of us
Who refuse to conquer hestiation
I don't see anything else in this room
To prove me wrong.


5.False Start

On a point in time-present undefined
And it's getting cold outside
Situations statical-for reasons you don't know
Just short of indecision
And it's getting cold outside
And it's getting cold outside
For you own trepidation
Refer to new perspexion
See yourself as others see you
In reverse red can appear blue
Wanna go outside
Don't you wanna go outside
Been stuck inside your room
So stranded like and 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-fictitous circumstance
Suspending all your future plans
Wait for you outside
If this false started motion
Believes it's own propulsion
Tran-sending space and 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 your face again
We're all waiting
We're all waiting here


6.R.i.p

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 whose fucking gone
I hope the food tastes better in heaven
I know there's lots of rad queer boys up there
I hope everytime they talk to you
They know that they're lucky to be your friend
Cuz look
There's another boy genius whose fucking gone
And i wouldn't be so fucking mad so fucking
Pissed off if it wasn't so fucking wrong
It's all fucking wrong
It's not fair- it's not fair
It's not fair
But no one said life was easy
Yeah, but no one said-on one said
Nothings supposed to happen, right?
No, no one told me anything
To prepare me for fucking this
There's another boy genius whose fucking 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


7.No Backrub

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


8.Bloody Ice Cream

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?
I've another good one for you
We are turning
Cursive letters into knives


9.For Only

An image from a long long time ago
Is haunting me
It plays itself with picture perfect clairty
-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)
Your face looks so familar
Unwashed and quite peculiar
No i can't say that i recall
I guess it's gone


10.Tony Randall

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
Somthings can't be photographed


11.Reject All American

Regimented
Designatied
Mass acceptance
Over rated
Lip synch
Apology
Lip synch
Saluatations
Lip synch
Teen anthem
Lip synch
Obligation
If you work hard
You'll succeed
A starring role
On nothing incorporated
Reject all american
Reject all american
Reject all american
Reject all american
Gets good grades
Plays guitar
He's all the rage on
Nothing incorporated
Gets good grades and plays guitar
Thinks he's cool but really is not
Reject sportscar
Reject masaleom
Reject all american
Reject all american
Reject all american
Reject all american


12.Finale

Red light stop
Green light go
I'm hearing voices
On my stereo
They wanna tell me something
Right now
We're the girls with the bad reputations
We're the girls gonna make you pay
We're the girls with the bad reputations
We are gonna have our say
Time to go
Time to go
Time to go
Green light go
