FUCKIN DYKE BITCHES
Tuesday, July 2, 2013
FDB LYRICS
In case you were wondering here are all our lyrics.
The last two songs are new and unreleased.
------------------+ LYRICS +-------------------
▼ F.D.B. ANTHEM ▼
queer don't see your gender
queer don't see your past
queer don't count your hookups
queer's alright to ask
queer ain't only in the west
queer ain't on tv
queer ain't for the faint of heart
queer is more than he or she
but to you we're still a bunch of
fucking dyke bitches
so we are gonna call ourselves
fucking dyke bitches
more visibility
queer hostility
more visibility
queer responsibility
your mothers fear
ain't going away
cause i'm hella gay
but to you we're still a bunch of
fucking dyke bitches
so we're gonna call ourselves
fucking dyke bitches
▼ METAL SONG ▼
*dedicated to survivors of sexual assault.
**the lyrics changed every time
▼ FIGHT SONG ▼
we fight we fight
yea yea yea yea
at night at night
oh no no no
you always think your
right right right right
i always think your
wrong wrong wrong
i don't need you
unless you want me to
and if you do...
▼ FEM FASH ▼
come to my front door
say you're a feminist
and then the next night
threaten me with your fists
come to my front door
say you're a feminist
but then you turn around
and call me a bitch
come to my front door
say you're a feminist
and then you critique her
for nasty vag lips
shut the door
shut the door
shut the door
▼ COMMUNITY ▼
give back what you take from me
take accountability
quit victim blaming
this is about community
and this is for encouragement
and this is for all your fucked up
power, jealousy, and entitlement
that i let go of and left.
▼ PROHOMO ▼
till we can exist beyond
your stupid fucking binary
till we stop the governments ability
to regulate our body identities
till my family can say
that i'm gay and that's okay
It Ain't Over x4
till we are respected for changing
pronouns and or gender
till schools take responsibility
for queers who are bullied
till i don't have to answer questions
"so like you only sleep with women"
It Ain't Over x4
gotta resist gotta
support each other
It took thousands of years to create
a society that perpetuates phobias & hate
But it won't take so long to destroy
it's structures, standards, and traditions.
So we gotta resist gotta support each other
It Ain't Over x4
▼ Boys Will Be Boys ▼
boys don't have to be
boys don't have to be
boys don't have to be boys
▼ Under Sheets ▼
Pursuit of happiness
Pursuit of sex
Pursuit of power
Pursuit of the patriarch
the fuck you
the patriarch
the fuck you
Pursuit of something new
This isn't conquest
This is consent
In the dark under sheets
without asking you touch me
we're not talking but you'll
see how far you can take it
advancing blindly
you don't know what I've seen
what I like or what will
trigger me
In the dark under sheets
without asking you touch me
Pressuring & objectifying fellow
queers wraps us right back into
the throes of heterosexual norms
& away from a safe, sex positive,
respectful community.
▼ QsQ ▼
You belong here tonight
I promise to treat you safe
As long as you're in my space
staying silent is no longer and option
we are only as strong as our voices
and the spaces we fill
▼Visual Hypnosis▼
How do you see me through this lens
how do I define myself over & over again
this is unrest
this is unkempt
this is greater than: visual hypnosis / the internet web
we rest in saturated images
i've lost connection with myself
i curse my own lines with obscurity
i curse my own inability to withstand
we rest in saturated images
i've lost connection with myself
self preservation cost me my autonomy
you seem stagnant and i swell
i'm done with my own escapism
into a community of spam
find me in real life

NEW RECORDING and NAME THINGS
IT'S FINALLY HERE:
new songs / new recordings
we hope you like them
http://fuckingdykebitches.bandcamp.com/album/2013-s-t
Big thanks to Joey for recording/mastering. You rock!
---------------------------
Also we wanted to touch on our band name and sort out any misunderstanding. If you have any questions about what we've written below. We can be reached at f.d.b.band@gmail.com.
The name Fucking Dyke Bitches is a reclamation. It was a slur used by our neighbor in reference to the people living in our house. We decided to name our band fucking dyke bitches as a response to the homophobic atmosphere and acceptance of such homophobia in the south*. It would be careless of us to not acknowledge that the name remains, as it was first perceived, an anti-gay slander. We ask that those of you who identify as queer to call us lovingly by our full name, Fucking Dyke Bitches (even those who do not identify with the word dyke). And those of you who identify outside of a queer prerogative** please refer to us simply as F.D.B. The name Fucking Dyke Bitches needs to be recognized as a fully loaded negative aggression that was meant to belittle and hurt us. Our name is not intended to be fun to say. It is not edgy and exciting to us. As language is a complicated thing, we beg our listeners to be fully conscious of the intentions behind their words. Perceiving our bodies as feminine does not mean we should be labeled as girls. Our "crude" band name does not condone usage of the word bitch either. Fucking Dyke Bitches is a statement for queer celebration and a nod at the things we want to see change.
*acceptance of homophobia refers to the general self acceptance of homophobia by queers and internalized homophobia (which is not just a problem in the south).
**what's is outside the queer prerogative you ask? It cannot be defined simply. My first thoughts would be people who are not LGBTQIQA (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Queer, Intersex, Questioning, Asexual) identified, but also a heteronormative cisgendered straight identified capitalist/person who hasn't the faintest idea about what the big deal is or isn't.
It's hard to define the term queer. It's defined differently by many people and we aren't saying this definition is the only one. Loosely it's a term that defines our struggle to break out of rigid gender and sexual norms and a term used to express who we want to be without the fear of rejection and being misunderstood. It's something flexible and fluid and that's what makes it so important and unique.
