Lyrics

You’d like me better if they didn’t stare
You’d like me better if I grew out my hair
You’d like me better if I wasn’t a mess
You’d like me better if I’d put on a dress

I don’t got no obligation
Just brush off all expectation

I ask you how you are and you’ll never tell
They like you better when you keep to yourself
They like you better when you’re shoved along
They try to tell you just where you belong

You don’t owe no demonstration
Who cares bout their validation
I don’t got no obligation
Just brush off all expectation

You’d like me better if I grew out my hair
Better if I wasn’t always sweating and scared
They like you better when you build up all the walls around your head
Better when you act like your emotions are dead, yeah
I don’t owe you
You don’t own me
You don’t owe them
They don’t own you
I don’t owe you
You don’t own me
You don’t owe them
Don’t let them own you

Damn. I’ve probably listened to this song 10x in the past couple of days. Every time it cranks my energy up and gets me totally pumped. F’ing great song, and LOVE Eloise’s defiant energy.

[LucasAlmeida-dzxh]

I’m keeping a close eye on this band. I have a feeling they are gonna be huge

[earthborn]

I still can’t believe that the first time I heard about these girls was on a Snapchat commercial and I’ve been checking them out ever since. They are the reason that I picked my guitar back up and started learning again .

WE NEED MORE BANDS LIKE THIS IN THIS
NEW GENERATION

[herryhubert]

I really liked this band from their first library show. But they've matured insanely. Far more voice control en lovely guitar riffs. No weak moment to find. Good going for these girls.

[malamarhammerstein]

Love these girls! Wish I was a teenager that had this band to rock out to and want to be like😊 Girl Power!!

[davidorourke]

This is now officially my favorite Linda Lindas song! (and I love all their songs!) :)

[DTC]

Fast and furious. Love this.

Also, Naoko introducing the band was legendary.

[AeliaReadsBooks]

The next generation of Riot Grrrls, legends in the making.

[ShadLife]

Oh hell yeah! Best band to come along in a long time!!!

[MigityMigityMike]

Wait, what the what!?!? Did I just find my next “on repeat” band?

[RodBurkholz]

It makes me so happy they’re on Epitaph. As a long time punker since my teenage years in the late 80’s, they’re every bit as punk as some of my favorite bands and could rival any if they keep this going and don’t go more mainstream. Either way, they’re badass and talented.

[T_E_music_playlists]

👍 I always enjoy the more aggressive sounding songs with Eloise doing the lead vocals. She really brings more of a punk rock energy and attitude to the Linda Lindas music. She never disappoints me but neither does the rest of the band either. Everyone sounds great on this song. Definitely looking forward to hearing the rest of the new album in October.

[wowMush]

Listen Linda. You better listen to The Linda Lindas, Linda. No obligation though. 😂

[kaderloop]

It's amazing how good they are, how their songs hit hard, how they've improved since their last album, how they just make their sound and their mix of different genres with their voices and don't just copy another in particular

[NotARussianBot]

Awww...YEAH!! Punk rock never dies!! Lets get a headlining tour after you're done w/ Green Day, ladies... would love to see you in Portland again!! ❤❤❤

[mial]

i LOVE everything about this. can´t stop playing it.

[uxaenarrhythmia]

God I wish they were touring near me. Ya'll kick ass, one of my favourite bands to come out of epitaph in a long fucking time. And those are some hard names to match up against

[geapgr]

This band is the analogy of a meteor coming down to earth that none expected (but … we like it)

[DateTwoRelate]

Great throwback punk anthem channeling many artists but just being The Linda Lindas.
