self sufficience... please!

Army of Me - BJöRK
Directed by Michel Gondry

Stand up
you've got to manage
I won't sympathize anymore


And if you complain once more
you'll meet an army of me


You're alright
there's nothing wrong
self-sufficience please!
and get to work


And if you complain once more
you'll meet an army of me


You're on your own now
we won't save you
your rescue-squad is to exhausted


And if you complain once more
you'll meet an army of me


"It's probably the most realistic way of expressing what situation I'm in - all these people trying to take things away from me, and the gorilla finding a diamond that I don't know I have and then stealing it. 'Army of Me' is so much about me actually learning that I have to defend myself. I have to stand up and fight the fucking gorilla. Once I've got the diamond and I run away with it, it becomes massive 'cos it's mine. But if the gorilla had kept it, it would have gone really tiny. That's surrealism for me." BJöRK
