After searching the "explicit" lyrics, after reading tons of articles about that song, I can't see anything shocking. 



[Verse 1]
I suppose I should tell you what this bitch is thinkin'
You'll find me in the studio, and not in the kitchen
I won't be braggin' 'bout my cars, or talkin' 'bout my chains
Don't need to shake my ass for you 'cuz I got a brain
If I told you 'bout my sex life, you'd call me a slut
When boys be talkin' 'bout their bitches no one's making a fuss
There's a glass ceiling to break, uh huh there's money to make
And now it's time to speed it up 'cuz I can't move at this pace

[Chorus]
Sometimes it's hard to find the words to say
I'll go ahead and say them anyway
Forget your balls and grow a pair of tits
It's hard, it's hard, it's hard out here for a bitch
It's hard (for a bitch, for a bitch)
For a bitch, it's hard
It's hard out here for a bitch

[Verse 2]
You're not a size 6, and you're not good looking
Well you better be rich, or be real good at cooking
You should probably lose some weight, 'cuz we can't see your bones
You should probably fix your face, or you'll end up on your own
Don't you want to have somebody who objectifies you?
Have you thought about your butt, who's gonna tear it in two?
We've never had it so good, uh huh we're out of the woods
And if you can't detect the sarcasm you're misunderstood

[Chorus]
A bitch, a bitch, bitch bitch bitch bitch
[Bridge]
Inequality promises that its here to stay
Alway trust the injustice 'cuz it's not going away
[Chorus]

Did I miss something? I didn't find anything wrong with the lyrics, personally (though I certainly wouldn't share them with most of my family ). The only real problem I had was all of that flesh, moving in disturbing directions... in slow motion!

{shudder!}

It's like watching a train wreck. I couldn't take my eyes off from it. And like Mr. Data, experimenting with certain food and beverages after he installed his emotion chip, I had to go back several times to watch, and was horrified anew each and every time. {ACK!}



(sorry. This is the best clip I could find)

 

I think most of the controversy is about it being feminist or anti feminist. And the use of the word bitch. The BBC wont play it due to that but auntie Beeb is always a bit prudish.

I think it's Lily, back from having 2 kids, at her best. Most of her songs have a swear word in them somewhere.

"Les Chaussettes Sauvages": a typical French pun.

Sorry. And Happy New Year!
