Baby Roe lyrics - Ani Difranco

I think we might be wrong about all of it

In fact, it's been proven

Keeps coming down to this shitty little interface

That we're using

The very edges of our knowing

Is just the tiny tip that's showing

But we're so wigged out

Yeah, we're so devout

To this waking dream

What's playing on the screen

And you just never know

Do you, baby roe?

It's all absurd

But even you maintain

Timing is everything

When you're stepping

Off a curb

And if you think this life

Is your only life

You're a fool

No, spirit can't be stopped

No matter who gives birth to who

No, spirit won't be stopped

No matter who gives birth to who

The path of least suffering

Leaves the best trail

The path of least suffering

It don't matter which side of the veil

It don't matter which side of the veil

I think we might be wrong about all of it

Brass In Pocket lyrics - Ani Difranco

(originally by The Pretenders)

Got brass in pocket

Got bottle, I'm gonna use it

Intention, I feel inventive

Gonna make you, make you, make you notice

Got motion, restrained emotion

Been driving, Detroit leaning

No reason, just seems so pleasing

Gonna make you, make you, make you notice

Gonna use my arms

Gonna use my legs

Gonna use my style

Gonna use my sidestep

Gonna use my fingers

Gonna use my, my, my imagination

'Cause I gonna make you see

There's nobody else here

No one like me

I'm special (special), so special (special)

I gotta have some of your attention

Give it to me

Got rhythm, I can't miss a beat

Got new skank, it's so neat

I got something, and I'm winking at you

I gonna make you, make you, make you notice

Gonna use my arms

Gonna use my legs

Gonna use my style

Gonna use my sidestep

Gonna use my fingers

Gonna use my, my, my imagination, oh

'Cause I gonna make you see

There's nobody else here

No one like me

I'm special (special), so special (special)

I gotta have some of your attention

Give it to me

'Cause I gonna make you see

There's nobody else here

No one like me

I'm special (special), so special (special)

I gotta have some of your attention

Give it to me

Give it to me

Give it to me

Disorders lyrics - Stone Gossard & Ani DiFranco

One disorder

Or another

It's a lot to process

So much for due process

Can I take your order?

Can I take how you ignored her?

Can I even pique your interest?

Buy me time to get dressed

If you know, then you know

How your grip can just let go

How the meaning can get missed

Once you know how it feels

To not exist

I have entered into

Negotiations

With the blissful abyss

Of disassociation

And all that it implies

While you weaponize

Your ejaculations

One fire

Or another

It's a lot to process

I just need an egress

Your importance

Has reached global proportions

It's a lot to process

I guess this is my process

I have entered into

Negotiations

With the blissful abyss

Of disassociation

And all that it implies

While you weaponize...

I don't give a fuck what you think you know

Look at you, you don't know

I don't give a fuck what you think you know

Look at you, you don't know

I don't give a fuck what you think you know

Look at you

I don't give a fuck what you think you know

Look at you, you don't know

I don't give a fuck what you think you know

Look at you...

Hide And Seek lyrics - Ani Difranco

Me and the other kids from the neighborhood

We played out on the street all summer long

Rule was, we had to go home at night when the street lights came on

We were oblivious to the rest of the world

And we'd hold up the cars in the street

And we'd always play boys against girls, and both sides would cheat

Strange men would stop their cars at the curb

And say, "hey, sweetheart, come here."

I'd go up to the window and they'd have their dick out in their hand

And a sick little sneer

I'd say, "here we go again

Yeah, ok, this time you win."

And I'd feel dirty, I'd feel ashamed

But I wouldn't let it stop my game

We would play hide and go seek

And territory would be the whole block

Sometimes the older boys, when they'd find you

They wouldn't want to tag you, they'd just wanna "talk."

They'd say "what would you do for a quarter?

Come on, we don't have much time."

Then I'd think for a minute and say,"ok, give me the quarter first... fine."

This time you win

Here we go again

And I would feel dirty and I'd feel ashamed

But I wouldn't let it stop my game

I remember my first trip alone on the greyhound bus

A man put his hands on me as soon as night fell

I remember when I was leaving, how excited I was

I remember when I arrived, I didn't feel so well

I remember a teacher in school that got me so sick, so scared

That I went into the bathroom and threw up in my hair

And I could go on and on, it just gets worse

And I should probably stop

Girl, next time he wants to know what your problem is

Girl, next time he wants to know where the anger comes from

Just tell him this time the problem's his

Tell him the anger just comes

It just comes

The Knowing lyrics - Ani Difranco

(from the Ani DiFranco Children's Book: The Knowing)

I have a name

And my name has a story

I have a look

A sound

A smell

A shape

A size

I have a color to my hair my skin my eyes

But this is not all of who I am

Underneath this is something more

All of these things are just what's showing

Underneath all that I know is The Knowing

Underneath all that I know is The Knowing

I have a favorite blanket it's a little torn

I have a family and a place where I was born

I have a favorite song and a favorite food

I have a favorite game depending on my mood

But this is not all of who I am

Underneath this is something more

All of these things are just what's showing

Underneath all that I know is The Knowing

Underneath all that I know is The Knowing

I have a life

That I am here to live

I have gifts that I am here to give

I have friends and with my friends I have fun

I have a love of the wind and of the sun

Yes, I can take heart in what's showing

Knowing it's all a part of The Knowing

Yes, I can take part in what's showing

Knowing we're all a part of The Knowing

I have beliefs and someday those beliefs might change

I have blocks that I like to arrange and rearrange

There are things that I'm told and things that I learn

There are skills I've practiced and praise I've earned

But this is not all of who I am

Underneath this is something more

All of these things are just what's showing

Underneath all that I know is The Knowing

Underneath all that I know is The Knowing

Underneath all that I know is The Knowing
