Lilly Allen- an English singer intended it to be about Bush. But she didn’t put his name in it for a reason, and that’s so the song could be enjoyed in a more universal sense.
For me, aside from the “go to war line”, this song could be a fuck you to haters in general. Particularly bigots and homophobes.
Lily Allen stated when she publicly performed this song for the first time that it was about the BNP. She later indicated that it was about George W. Bush, then broadened it pretty widely allowing that it could be applicable to any closed-minded, bigotted conservatives, in any country.
When I wrote this song, it was about Nick Griffin and the BNP, then it was about George Bush in America, but now it’s just about anyone, really, anyone who pisses you off, this is just a song to say ‘F*ck your Sh*t.'”
Look inside, look inside your tiny mind
Then 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 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 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
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 very, very much
‘Cause your words don’t translate
And it’s getting quite late
So please don’t stay in touch
Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you
Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you
Fuck you
You say you think we need to go to war
Well, you’re already in one
‘Cause it’s people like you that need to get slew
No one wants your opinion
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 very, very much
‘Cause your words don’t translate
And it’s getting quite late
So please don’t stay in touch
Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you
Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you
