The duo released their debut album Ego War in 2003 to positive reviews which helped to establish them as one of the best new acts in dance music. The album fused elements of breaks, hip-hop, punk, garage and house with clever beats and samples.
In 2005 they released Generation, the follow-up to their debut album. Despite reaching number 3 in the UK Singles Chart with their 2005 hit, "Shot You Down", which samples the Nancy Sinatra version of the song "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)", the album was poorly received. Generation was seen as a step away from what made Ego War appealing due to the pace being slower and a number of tracks being downbeat in mood. In a 2008 interview, Simon Franks suggested that they listened to their label, Virgin, too much: "We should never have listened to anyone else". "Virgin admitted they didn't know how to market house music, and it slowly turned into us making this slower album. The daft thing is, Shot You Down was the big hit, this old-school club track, but it was followed by a moody, dark record. It confused everyone."
In making Generation, the group worked with Suggs of Madness collaborating on the track "This Road".
Their new album, Sunday Night Fever, was supposed to be out September 2008, but has been delayed till 2009. It has been renamed to Higher Than The Eiffel and will be released in 2010. The first single promoting that album entitled Only Man, will be released on March 22nd 2010.
We Don't Care
Audio Bullys Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I go out late at night
And I was to tell you
You'd see my different side
There's things I haven't told you
I go out late at night
And I was to tell you
There's things I haven't told you
I go out late at night
And I was to tell you
You'd see my different side
There's things I haven't told you
I go out late at night
And I was to tell you
You'd see my different side
There's things I haven't told you
I go out late at night
And I was to tell you
You'd see my different side
What the fuck?!
We don't care
What you say
I'm a do my thing
From day to day
(Get it?)
We don't care
What you think
'Cause in this world
It's Swim-or-Sink
(What the fuck?)
The song "We Don't Care" by Audio Bullys is about a rebellious and carefree attitude towards the norms of society. The first stanza talks about the singer hiding his true self and going out late at night, indicating a sense of secrecy and deception. But at the same time, he is confessing that if he were to reveal his true self, the listener would see his different side. The repetition of these lines emphasizes the need to be accepted and understood for who he really is.
The next stanza consists of a bold statement that the singer doesn't care about what others think or say. He is confident in doing his own thing and living his life the way he wants to, without being weighed down by societal expectations. The repetition of the phrase "We don't care" underscores this message of defiance and self-assertion.
The final line, "What the fuck?!", is an expression of frustration and defiance towards the status quo. This phrase breaks the rhythmic pattern of the song and reinforces the rebellious tone of the lyrics.
Overall, "We Don't Care" can be interpreted as a call to reject conformity and embrace individuality. The song encourages the listener to be confident and unapologetic in their true selves, regardless of what others may think or say.
