Lyrics for Blood In The Boardroom by Ani Difranco:
| | | Artist: | Ani Difranco |
| | Album: | Puddle Dive | | Track: | Blood In The Boardroom | | | | Date Added: | 24/10/2007 | | Views: | 59 | | | | Lyrics: | sitting in the boardroom
the I'm-so-bored room
listening to the suits
talk
about their world
they can make straight lines
out of almost anything
except
for the line
of my upper lip when it curls
dressed in my best greasy skin
and
squinty eyes
I'm the only part of summer here
that made it inside
in the
air-conditioned building
decorated with coporate flair
I wonder
can these boys
smell me bleeding
though my underwear
there's men wearing the blood
of
the women they love
there's white wearing the blood of the brown
but every woman
learns to bleed from the moon
and we bleed to renew life
every time it's cut down
/>
I got my vertebrae all stacked up
as high as they go
I but I still feel myself
sliding
from the earth that I know
so I excuse myself and leave the room
say my
period came early
but it's not a minute too soon
I go and find the only other
woman on the floor
is the secretary sitting at the desk by the door
I ask her if she's
got a tampon I could use
she says
oh honey, what a hassle for you
sure I do
/>
you know I do
I say
it ain't no hassle, no, it ain't no mess
right now it's
the only power
that I possess
these businessmen got the money
they got the
instruments of death
But I can make life
I can make breath
sitting in the
boardroom
the I'm-so-bored room
listening to the suits talk about their world
I
didn't really have much to say
the whole time I was there
so I just left a big brown
bloodstain
on their white chair | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
