Fuck They
Benny Benassi & Sofi Tukker Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't give a fuck about they
I don't give a fuck about they

Oh, they put me up, pin me down, tire me slowly
After that, after they, nothing is holy
Play the freak, pray for weeks, smooth out my body
'Cause after all

Deep down in the world, on this rock, we got
All these rules that everyone keep making up
Who the fuck is they? I wanna meet with them
I wanna be real nice, I wanna be their friend
We gonna get real close, we gonna laugh all night
We gonna have a moment then we say goodbye

I don't give a fuck about they

I don't give a fuck about they (Who's they?)
Who gives a fuck about they? (Who's they?)
I don't give a fuck (They don't even give a fuck)
They don't even give a fuck (Who's they anyway?)
I don't give a fuck about they (Who's they?)
Who gives a fuck about they? (Who's they?)
I don't give a fuck (They don't even give a fuck)
They don't give a fuck

Oh my, what a time, what a vibe and we are hardly
Hardly beginning, oh, this party
We got us, we got they, we got an army
Oh, 'cause we know

Deep down in the world, on this rock, we got
All these rules that everyone keep making up
Who the fuck is they? I wanna meet with them
I wanna be real nice, I wanna be their friend
We gonna get real close, we gonna laugh all night
We gonna have a moment then we say goodbye

I don't give a fuck about they

I don't give a fuck about they (Who's they?)
Who gives a fuck about they? (Who's they?)
I don't give a fuck (They don't even give a fuck)
They don't even give a fuck (Who's they anyway?)
I don't give a fuck about they (Who's they?)
Who gives a fuck about they? (Who's they?)
I don't give a fuck (They don't even give a fuck)
They don't give a fuck

I don't give a fuck about they (Who's they?)
Who gives a fuck about they? (Who's they?)
I don't give a fuck (They don't even give a fuck)
They don't even give a fuck (Who's they anyway?)
I don't give a fuck about they (Who's they?)
Who gives a fuck about they? (Who's they?)
I don't give a fuck (They don't even give a fuck)
They don't give a fuck


I don't give a fuck about they

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Benny Benassi & Sofi Tukker's song "Fuck They" can be interpreted as an anthem of rebellion against societal norms and pressures. The repetition of the phrase "I don't give a fuck about they" serves as a mantra of sorts, expressing a refusal to be held down or controlled by external forces.


The lyrics describe the feeling of being "put up" and "pinned down" by those in power, causing a loss of personal identity and individuality. Despite this, the singer claims that "nothing is holy" after being subject to their control and manipulation. The idea of "playing the freak" and "smooth[ing] out my body" suggests a need to conform and change oneself in order to fit into the mold that society has created.


However, the chorus is a rejection of this conformity, as the singer declares that "we got us, we got they, we got an army" in defiance of external pressures. The repetition of the question "Who the fuck is they?" further emphasizes the idea of rejecting societal standards and creating one's own path.


Overall, the lyrics to "Fuck They" can be viewed as a call to individuality and rebellion against societal pressures in order to live a fully realized life on one's own terms.
