Screwed

(2018)
dall'album Dirty Computer
Featuring Zoë Kravitz



Testo tratto da Genius

Screwed ha qui un doppio senso: "fottuto" nel senso di essere rovinati dalle scelte che i governi e i potenti fanno per noi a cui Janelle contrappone il significato di "avere scopato": fate l'amore e non fatevi fottere dal potere.

La canzone contiene anche le parole "We'll put water in your guns", trasformare le vostre armi in pistole ad acqua, che è una bella versione moderna del "mettete dei fiori nei vostri cannoni".

[1] These lines establish the double meaning of “screwed” in the song: “screwed” as in having had sex, and “screwed” as in being done wrong. Someone who’s gone “sex crazy” would probably feel “screwed” in the first sense, and they would probably view that as a good thing. However, the “but” in the last line indicates that the type of “screwed” Jane is feeling is not of the pleasurable or welcome variety; rather, it is the type where she feels “screwed over” by the government and society devolving into war and into policing of sex and body (as seen in the following interlude).
