[Intro]
Is that supposed to be doing that? Okay, sorry, okay, we're starting now. We're Bikini Kill and we want Revolution Girl-style now!
[Verse 1]
Hey girlfriend
I got a proposition, goes something like this
Dare ya to do what you want
Dare ya to be who you will
Dare ya to cry right out loud
"You get so emotional, baby"
[Chorus]
Double dare ya, double dare ya
Double dare ya, girl-fuckin'-friend, yeah
Double dare ya, double dare ya
Double dare ya, girl
[Verse 2]
Don't you talk out of line
Don't go speaking out of your turn
Gotta listen to what the Man says, oh
Time to make his stomach burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn
[Chorus]
Double dare ya, double dare ya
Double dare ya, girl-fuckin'-friend, yeah
Double dare ya, double dare ya
Double dare ya, girl
[Bridge]
You're a big girl now
You've got no reason not to fight
You've got to know what they are
For you can stand up for your rights
Rights, rights? You do have rights!
[Chorus]
Double dare ya, double dare ya
Double triple fuckin' dare ya, girlfriend
Double dare ya, double dare ya
Double dare ya, girl
