They dragged his black ass down to the station and said, ok, the streets are safe now all your pretty white children can come out and see spot run. And they came out of their houses and they looked around but they didn't see no one My country tis of thee to take swings at each other on the talk show tv Why don't you just go ahead and turn off the sun. 'Cuz we'll never live long enough to undo everything they've done to you undo everything they've done to you Above 96th street they're handin' out smallpox blankets so people don't freeze. The old dogs have got a new trick It's called criminalize the symptoms while you spread the disease and I hold on hard to something between my teeth when I'm sleeping I was up and my jaw aches.. and the earth is full of earthquakes My country 'tis of thee to take shots at each other on primetime TV Why don't you just go ahead and turn off the sun 'cuz we'll never live long enough to undo everything they've done to you undo everything they've done to you and I'm trying to see through the glare yes, I'm struggling just to see what is there the one person who really knows me best says I'm like a cat the kind of cat that you can't pick up and throw into your lap no, the kind that doesn't mind being held only when it's her idea yeah, the kind that feels what she decides to feel when she's good and ready to feel it. Now I am prowling through the backyard and I am hiding under the car I have gotten out of everthing I've gotten into so far I eat when I am hungry and I travel alone and just outside the glow of the house is where I feel most at home but in the window you sometimes appear and your music is faint in my ears Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Wish I May, Wishin And Hopin, Wishin And Hopin, Work Your Way Out, Worthy, You Each Time, You Had Time, Your House, Your Next Bold Move, Falling In Love Again, Mother, Youthful, Give Me The Strength, Im No Ordinary Girl, Its About, Its About, London Bridge, Why, Alas, Aliento Inocente, Amigos, Antes De Morir, Aprendiz, Atropello, Aura, Barrio Patron, Buscando Llegar Hasta El Sol, Cambiar?S, Camouflage, CEREBRO INCENDIADO, Chalito, Choli Rancho, Cinco Siglos Igual, Cop Killer, Criminales De Races, Criminales De Raices, CRUEL ADDICIN, Cruel Adiccin, Cuida Tu Fe, Dejar De Ser, DESDE LA TRINCHERA, Dios, Duea De La Sombra, Duena De La Sombra, DUEVAS DE LA SOMBRAS, El Balz, El Nuevo Camino Del Hombre, Esclavo De Ilusin, Esclavo De Ilusion, Esperando El Final, Other Ani Difranco song Lyrics 1 x 1 x 1 Lyrics 1,000,000 Lyrics 2nd Intermission Lyrics Agry Anymore Lyrics Aids Lyrics Angry Anymore Lyrics Ani DiFranco Complete Album Lyrics Asked You First Lyrics Astronaut (Ft Radiohead) Lyrics Brief Bus Stop Lyrics Cold And Mean Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists DiFranco Ani Lyrics Anika Moa Lyrics Anika Paris Lyrics A.N.I.M.A.L.
