The Best Lyrics From Limp Bizkit’s New Apology Album

Limp Bizkit’s highly anticipated sixth studio album, Stampede of the Disco Elephants, has been beset by nearly seven years of delays as Fred Durst and his bandmates have locked themselves in the studio crafting a thoughtful response to a changing world in which gender relations and what it means to be a man have been completely redefined. Durst has immersed himself in feminist theory and social-justice activism, releasing an album that recants his previous output going back to the 1990s and attempts to repair the damage he’s done. But old-school fans need not worry—Wes Borland’s guitar riffs are still totally heavy and this music will scare your mom and dad. Here are the lyrics that most reflect Durst’s awakening:


“Give me something to break/How about the f***n’ patriarchy?!”


“Instead of breaking stuff, I should have been fixing myself.”


“I did it all for the nookie (come on)/The nookie (come on)/And I realize I should have valued you as an equal who had her own feelings/So you can take this apology/And stick it in your memory box. (If you want to).”




“Harriet Tubman needs to be on the three dollar bill, y’all.”


“Everybody N 2 gether now/speak your truth and let those feelings out.”


“It’s all about the ‘he said, she said’ bulls**t/and I believe her.”


“I pack a chainsaw/I build a home for a needy family.”


“Where the f**k you at punk?/Shut the f**k up and back the f**k up/Is what I say to myself/As I listen to you tell me about your experiences/And how I can be a good ally.”
