Shock Value

I love shock. I love creepy. I love the slightly grotesque. I love riots. I love scary girls. You know those girls; the ones who aren't afraid to get in your face. The girls who aren't afraid to say what is on their mind. The girls who aren't bound by etiquette. I think I find humor it. And I get bored with normalcy. Which, I think is why I think Lady Gaga is hilarious and brilliant, and why I love Bikini Kill. Bikini Kill constantly shocks me with their lyrics, and I love that. I often find myself thinking "You can't say that in public." And they do. And it's awesome. And I'm going to pass it along.

Lyrics to "Blood One" by Bikini Kill.

A-E-I don't owe you nothing
Nothing
Nada
Nothing, Never
I don't fit into yr dumb words
Language is memory pushing thru my skin
Bloody memory that filters everything
Blood is One
Hate is Two
My Pussy is Three, 3
That makes you for

Peace, Love and Equality
Your terms
I don't fit into those words
Yr alphabet is spelled with my blood
Yr alphabet is spilled with our blood
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah
I don't understand
I don't understand
