LYRICS:
I got no devotion,I got no
I got no devotion, no devotion

Unleash disorder, fuck what they taught us
Unleash disorder, I can't get no

Unleash disorder, fuck what they taught us, Unleash disorder
Erect shaft-like monuments for your wars
Splatter canvas, paint the fucking walls
Place us on plinths, fetishise the female form
Exalt virgins, frustrate yourself more

Unleash disorder, fuck what they taught us
Unleash disorder, I can't get no
Phallocentric, we're not done when you are
Pallocentric, I'm bored of your art

I want to play not perform a routine
I want pleasure not just here to please
Liberate us from these limited constraints
I take the shame, take the blame, take the pain
And it's not right, not right

I got no devotion,I got no
I got no devotion, no devotion
Unleash disorder, fuck what they taught us
Unleash disorder, I can't get no
Phallocentric, we're not done when you are
Pallocentric, I'm bored of your art

About this video:
The video is based loosely on an old performance art piece by Yves Klein where he painted naked women blue and made them print their bodies. The video begins with a straight forward subversion of this idea – with fully clothed Ren painting a naked man blue – then goes on to play with it as a way of different pairs expressing their affection and/or sexual desire for each other, in a rainbow of different colours. As well as a music video (and excuse for us to get messy, lets be honest) the film is also part of an art project in its own right. We had no idea what each pair would do with the paint or what their body prints would come out like. It was important that they made their own choices about what they wanted to do depending on what they were comfortable with. It was decided before shooting, that the video would be made up of two screens, with the left side paced more like a classic music video, and the right more like an art film or documentation of performance art
