An all out auditory affront that references the Russian feminist punk-rock protest group and also tests the limits of censorship by alluding to the most outlandish things one can say in a crowded dancehall. Chanted over a murky cluster of percussive snares, hypnotic synths and seizure inducing bass drops, this song seems specifically crafted to meet the needs of wired up, club kids everywhere.
lyrics
Cause a ruckus in your spot cause you know who we are
Rolling in the deep accompanied by rockstars
See them roped off sections, fingers pointing up to Mars
Throwin' shade I don't give a fuck-now I'm behind bars
I'm in bars, bars toasting, international-kiss my fanny
Bars, bars toasted, toying with some Russian candy
I know what they say and they do what we want
Now I'm screaming in my megaphone "Hell no! Let em' go!"
Now they watchin' me-look at em' watching me
I'm getting free pub (pop, pop, pop, paparazzi)
Watch me (watch me)
And now they watchin' me look at em watchin' me
ohhh...
I'm only concerned with the girl in the mirror
When she's in the zone better not go near her
You think that it's strange-it's about to get weirder
I'll yell fire in a crowded ass theater (watch me now)
The boys all get excited, they run like they're invited
You hear em talk about it but they don't know about it
got em wrapped up in the hype, you know the fame coincided
They screamin' "Free?!?", now we're locked down in a riot
I'm in bars, bars toastin' gyrating with some pansies
Bars, bars toasted smelling like sex and candy
I know what you want, don't think you can handle her
No she not a Pussycat Doll, she a panther...
And now they watchin' me look at em watchin' me...
Now they watching me....look at em...
I'm only concerned with the girl in the mirror
When she's in the zone better not go near her
You think that it's strange-it's about to get weirder
I'll yell fire in a crowded ass theater (watch me now)
