Bikini Kill - I Wanna Know What Love Is Lyrics

How many girls stay awake all night
Too scared to sleep and too scared to fight back
I know you know what I'm talking about
Another woman killed and hardly a pout about it

Green River killer my fucking ass
The cops have gotta be deaf, dumb, and spastic
To not catch the killer(s) of a hundred women
I guess it'd be different if they thought we were human

I wanna know what love is

What the fuck if we all got guns
To off the fucking pigs and all the other motherfuckers
Raping the children they paint like dolls
Jon Benet didn't scream cuz she never fucking was

Come on now the police aren't gonna save you
They're part of the problem that society gave you
Locking up Black men for whistling in the wind
You see a mirage when you call the cop your friend

I wanna know what love is

The killers and the cops give us special advice
Like cross your legs and act fucking nice
While they kill us off old and fucking young
For breathing, relieving, and having fun

They'll keep you scared so you have to have a boyfriend
And take your kids away if your a la la lesbian
Arrest you for whoring then rape you in the car
It's time we point the finger at who the real criminals are

I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me

So I'll stay awake almost every night
A pin in my hand and in the other a knife
Cuz I'd rather be scared and fight back
Then be some dick's maid, babe, or wife

I don't care how we get it
but we've gotta get it someday
