Fuck You
Olivia Rodrigo & Lily Allen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 (ta-rah, rah, rah, rah, rah)
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
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 (ta-rah, rah, rah, rah, rah)
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
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)
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
Fuck you (fuck you)
Fuck you (fuck you)
Fuck you (fuck you)
Ta-rah, rah, rah, rah, rah
Fuck you (fuck you)
Fuck you (fuck you)
Fuck you (fuck you)
The lyrics to Olivia Rodrigo and Lily Allen's song "Fuck You" convey a strong message of frustration and disdain towards narrow-mindedness, bigotry, and prejudice. The song is a bold and defiant response to individuals who hold discriminatory beliefs and perpetuate hatred towards marginalized communities.
The lyrics begin by urging the listener to introspect and examine their own limited perspective. They question the sources of the hatred and bigotry, suggesting that the individual's mindset is uninspired and fueled by negativity. The song then directly addresses those who deem homosexuality unacceptable and calls them out as "evil" and "racist." The lyrics highlight the outdatedness of their point of view, labeling it as "medieval" and inherently flawed.
The chorus delivers a straightforward declaration of contempt, as the repeated phrase "Fuck you" embodies the anger and frustration towards the target of the song's criticism. It emphasizes the collective animosity towards both the person and their associates, asserting that their actions are despised. The lyrics also express a desire to sever ties and maintain distance from such individuals, as they contribute nothing positive or worthwhile to the world.
The later verses focus on the small-mindedness and efforts to seek approval from a figure of authority, likely referencing a father figure. The lyrics highlight the futility and emptiness of living a hateful life, suggesting that their soul is lacking, and their actions are becoming increasingly distasteful.
Towards the end, the song confronts not only the individual but also their ideas, silencing their opinions with a dismissive "Fuck you." The lyrics point out the irony of their desire for war and assert that they are already engaged in a battle of their own making. The song concludes once again by reiterating the disdain towards the person and their ideas, urging them not to stay in touch.
Overall, "Fuck You" is a powerful anthem of resistance against bigotry and discrimination, serving as a call for unity and acceptance.
