[Chorus] Double dare ya, double dare ya Double dare ya, girl-fuckin'-friend, yeah Double dare ya, double dare ya Double dare ya, girl
[Verse 2] Don't you talk out of line Don't go speaking out of your turn Gotta listen to what the Man says, oh Time to make his stomach burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn
[Chorus] Double dare ya, double dare ya Double dare ya, girl-fuckin'-friend, yeah Double dare ya, double dare ya Double dare ya, girl
[Bridge] You're a big girl now You've got no reason not to fight You've got to know what they are For you can stand up for your rights Rights, rights? You do have rights!
[Chorus] Double dare ya, double dare ya Double triple fuckin' dare ya, girlfriend Double dare ya, double dare ya Double dare ya, girl

The very first track off Bikini Kill’s legendary debut record serves as a thesis statement for the Riot Grrrl, an underground feminist punk movement that formed in the 1990s around female-fronted punk bands that sang about feminist themes (like empowerment, sexuality, abuse, patriarchy and racism).
In this song, Kathleen Hanna offers a proposition to girls everywhere in the form of a dare to be unashamed of themselves.
