Lily Allen wrote that her song “Fuck you” (2008) “is not a direct attack at anyone, it was originally written about the BNP in the UK but then I felt this issue has become relevant pretty much everywhere, we are the youth, we can make coolness for our future, it’s up to us. Go green and hate hate.” (bayradio.fm)

Steviedidit explains his video: “theres a disgusting amount of hate on the internet (especially on youtube!) directed at minority groups (especially the LGBT community) so i was inspired to organize this collab video. i never set out to change the world. i did not make this for the gay haters to see. i wanted to make something light hearted and funny for the victims of gay hate, to teach them to brush off the hate and stand strong and confident as who they are. you’re not alone! stevie loves you :)”

First seen on Prof. Michael Wesch’s blog, Digital Ethnography.

Look inside
Look inside your tiny mind
Now look a bit harder
Cause we’re so uninspired
So sick and tired of all the hatred you harbor

So you say
It’s not okay to be gay
Well I think you’re just evil
You’re just some racist who can’t tie my laces
Your point of view is medieval

Fuck you (Fuck you)
Fuck you very, very much
Cause we hate what you do
And we hate your whole crew
So please don’t stay in touch

Fuck you (Fuck you)
Fuck you very, very much
Cause your words don’t translate
And it’s getting quite late
So please don’t stay in touch

Do you get
Do you get a little kick out of being small-minded?
You want to be like your father
It’s approval you’re after
Well that’s not how you find it

Do you
Do you really enjoy living a life that’s so hateful?
Cause there’s a hole where your soul should be
You’re losing control a bit
And it’s really distasteful

You say
You think we need to go to war
Well, you’re already in one
‘Cuz it’s people like you that need to get slew
No-one wants your opinion.

song of the week 🙂 englishlernen mit liedern
