Classic anthem off Bikini Kill’s split LP with UK comrades Huggy Bear about resistance and embracing contradiction.

Jigsaw Youth Lyrics

[Intro]
I can sell my body if I wanna
God knows you already sold your mind
I may sell my body for money sometimes
You can't stop the fire that burns inside of me

[Verse 1]
You think that I don't know
I'm here to tell you I do
You think that I don't know
I know the truth about you, yeah

[Chorus]
Jigsaw, jigsaw youth
We go with the kids, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Jigsaw, jigsaw youth
We know there's not one way, one light, one stupid truth

[Verse 2]
Won't fit your definitions
Won't fit into your dumb plan
Not in to win the majority
Won't meet your demands

[Chorus]
Jigsaw, jigsaw youth
We go with the kids, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Jigsaw, jigsaw youth
We know there's not one way, one light, one stupid truth

[Verse 3]
Won't fit your definitions
Won't meet your demands
Not into win-lose reality
Won't fit in with your plan
