In the first track on Bikini Kill’s final studio album, Reject All American, Kathleen Hanna sings about the societal judgment and stereotypes that women are supposed to conform to and strive to be. (i.e. what is pretty and attractive).
[Verse 1]
Mirror, mirror
On the wall
Who's the fairest
Of them all?
[Verse 2]
I don't, I don't really care, you know
I don't, I don't really care
I don't, I don't really care
Like, it's not important at all
[Verse 3]
You made the rules
You wrote the script out
Don't blame me
When you fucking lose
[Verse 4]
Don't put the blame on me (You try to make me crazy)
Don't put the blame on me (You try to make me scared)
Don't put the blame on me (You try to make me crazy)
Don't put the blame on me (I think you're a fucking drag)
[Outro]
You are your own worst enemy!
Nah-nah-nah, nah, nah-nah-nah, nah-nah, nah
Nah-nah-nah, nah, nah-nah
