Fuck You
Force of Change Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your elitist ideals are getting fucking old and I'm sick of your bullshit
You think you are gonna change the world with your words and actions
But in reality you are doing nothing, but burning bridges
This is high school shit and it's gotta go
It's gotta go
The barriers that you help build do nothing but tear this scene apart
Get the fuck out of my face because I don't want to hear it
We are all here for the same reasons and in my eyes we are all equal
I don't give a shit how many books you've read on being an asshole
You have no right to look down on anyone
What part of that don't you get?
FUCK YOU
The lyrics of Force of Change's song "Fuck You" are a powerful critique of elitism and hypocrisy in the punk and hardcore scenes. The song addresses individuals who believe they are above others, who claim to want to change the world with their words and actions, but in reality are only concerned with tearing the scene apart by building unnecessary barriers.
The opening lines of the song set the tone for the rest of the lyrics. The singer questions why the subject feels they are better or more important than others, calling out their "elitist ideals" as "fucking old". The singer is clearly fed up with the subject's behavior and "bullshit", and considers their efforts to be nothing more than "burning bridges".
The chorus of the song declares that this type of behavior and attitude is akin to "high school shit" and needs to go. The barriers and divisions that the subject is perpetuating do nothing to help the scene or the world as a whole. The verse that follows drives this point home: the singer demands the subject to "get the fuck out of [their] face". They believe that everyone present is equal and deserves equal respect, and that no one has the right to look down on anyone else.
In essence, "Fuck You" is a call to action for listeners to reject elitism and hypocrisy and embrace equality and open-mindedness. It is a denunciation of those who claim to want change but only serve to divide and destroy.

@Nicky75 Yes, among other things. This is a comedy, not reality. Laughter doesn't necessarily imply condonement.
Regardless, to your point about word choice, I said "defiant and incredulous retorts," which acknowledges she's verbally rebelling against her parents with more than mere sedate responses. The scene wouldn't have much comedic effect if she had blandly responded in monotone acquiescence. I acknowledged she's being defiant (and yes, also somewhat sarcastic), and she's also unwilling to accept or believe what they're trying to impose or suggest: "...build a fort?! And do WHAT in the fort?" It's as if she can't believe such words and suggestions just came from her mother's mouth. So, responds with incredulity, defiance, frustration, and exasperation, all of the above. She projects and encapsulates it all.
I found her responses and delivery to be hilarious. I thought it was a great portrayal of a precocious, quasi-rebellious young teen beginning to find her voice.
I expect a lot of people can relate to this scene as parents or children, and find humor in it, whether or not we would have ever responded to our own parents this way.
I also found the Melissa McCarthy scene in the principal's office hilarious, although I wouldn't behave that way myself. Just because we laugh at a movie scene doesn't mean we endorse the behavior in real life.
I'm sure a lot of people laughed at the Leslie Mann scene where she bullies the Tom Petty lookalike child and makes him cry. Does that mean they condone bullying? I ask that rhetorically.
This is a movie, not reality (although ironically, Leslie Mann is Maude Apatow's mother), but I expect it's cathartic for many (apparently a lot of people in the comments found this scene amusing), because it voices thoughts on topics and in situations that good manners, mores, and norms would usually (hopefully) prevent us from saying out loud.
Comedy is certainly subjective, and I'm not trying to negate your perspective, but I thought the scene accurately and humorously reflected familial frustrations, dysfunction, and problems caused by generation gaps, recurring themes throughout the movie. I watched the scene again and still unapologetically enjoyed it and appreciated the acting.
But to each their own. Have a good day.

Tears in my eyes over Maude Apatow's facial expressions, defiant and incredulous retorts, verbal emphasis and enunciation. She killed this scene. One of my favorites in any comedy. Kudos. Well done!
