How do you feel about feminists? I’m honestly skeptical. Maybe because I belong to the gender that the supporters of this movement make claims against. However, since the current exists and even grows stronger over the years, we will not deny the existence of a problem. Ask why I remembered the struggle of women for equality? Only for the reason that I decided to write about the history of the song F**k Them All, which Mylène Farmer dedicated to this very topic.
The story of the song F**k Them All by Mylène Farmer
Fans of Farmer probably know that the singer has long adhered to radical feminist ideas, but F**k Them All was the first composition (correct me if I’m wrong) in which she openly expressed her views.
The song was written by Mylene herself, and the music was written by composer, producer and director Laurent Buttona, who has been working with Farmer since the mid-eighties.
The meaning of the song F**k Them All by Mylène Farmer
The message of the composition is more than clear. The singer, not embarrassed in expressions, complains about the unfair arrangement of the world towards women and literally calls to send away those who are to blame for this. The presence in the text and the title of the track is not entirely decent and completely indecent phrases add fuel to the fire. Apparently, they are intended to show how much Milen is indignant, but evil tongues claim that with their help he simply wanted to provoke a scandal and draw more attention to the song.
Release and achievements
In March 2005, “F**k Them All” was released as the first single from the album Avant que l’lombre, which was released a month later.
Reviews of critics were different: some were indignant about the text, others drew parallels with the work of Madonna, others found some other shortcomings. However, all this did not prevent F**k Them All from becoming the best-selling single from the album. The song reached its maximum success in the charts in France and Belgium, where it climbed to second place.
Video of F**k Them All by Mylène Farmer
Now a few words about the video clip for the song F**k Them All. As usual with Farmer, it turned out to be mystical and spectacular. It was directed by Spanish director Augustin Villaronga according to the script of Milen. I will not even try to describe everything that happens in it. See for yourself at Mylene, who is riding a horse and chopping stuffed animals with blood pouring from their eye sockets with a sword.

F**k Them All by Mylène Farmer Lyrics
La nature est changeante
On respire comme ils mentality
De façon ravageuse
La nature est tueuse
Au temps des Favorites
Autant de reussites
Pour l’homme qui derriere a
Une Belle qui s’affaire
Faire de leur vie un Empire / Blood and Tear
Faire l’amour à Marie/Blood and Tear
Mais Marie est martyre / Blood and Tear
Vivre sur de violents soupirs
F**k them all
Faites l’amour nous la guerre
Nos vies a l’envers
F**k them all
Faites l’amour nous la guerre
Signez notre enfer
F**k them all
Faites l’amour nous la guerre
Nos vices a l’envers
Proud and soul
Faites l’amour dans le texte
Le sens et le sexe
De nature innocente
On manie l’elegance
Et d’une main experte
D’un glaive nous transperce
Les discours trop prolixes
Que de la rhetorique
Lachetes familiares
Qui nous rendent guerrieres
Faire de leur vie un Empire / Blood and Tear
Faire l’amour à Marie / Blood and Tear
Mais Marie est martyre / Blood and Tear
Vivre sur de violents soupirs
Hey bitch, you’re not on the list
You witch, you suck, you bitch
They said…

Sorry, but I don’t speak French, I don’t see the point in translating only the text into English, and I don’t post translations published on other resources. So look for the translation of F**k Them All on thematic sites.
