"I wish that they'd swoop down in a country lane, late at night when I'm driving... take me on board their beautiful ship, show me the world as I'd love to see it... I'd tell all my friends but they'd never believe me... they'd think that I'd finally lost it completely... I'd show them the stars and the meaning of life... they'd shut me away, but I'd be alright..."...
Ani DiFranco... from 'Fuel'... most of the song here 'cause the lyrics are just so perfect... = )
"they were digging a new foundation in manhattan
and they discovered a slave cemetery there
may their souls rest in peace now that lynching is frowned upon
and we've moved on to the electric chair
and I wonder who's gonna be president
tweedle dumb or tweedle dumber?..."...
"all the radios agree with all the tv's
and the magazines agree with all the radios
and I keep hearing that same damn song
everywhere I go
maybe I should put a bucket over my head
and a marshmallow in each ear
and stumble around for another dumb numb week
for another hum drum hit song to appear
people used to make records
as in a record of an event
the event of people
playing music in a room
now everything is cross-marketing
it's about sunglasses and shoes
or guns or drugs
you choose
we got it rehashed
we got it half-assed
we're digging up all the graves
and we're spitting on the past..."...
Ani DiFranco... from 'As Is'...
"when I look down
I just miss all the good stuff
and when I look up
I just trip over things..."...
Ani DiFranco... from 'Glass House'...
"life just keeps getting harder
and it just keeps getting harder to hide
the darker it is around me
the easier it is to see inside..."...
