Lyrics for My IQ by Ani Difranco:
| | | Artist: | Ani Difranco |
| | Album: | Puddle Dive | | Track: | My IQ | | | | Date Added: | 24/10/2007 | | Views: | 106 | | | | Lyrics: | when I was four years old
they tried to test my I.Q.
they showed me a picture
/>
of 3 oranges and a pear
they said,
which one is different?
it does not
belong
they taught me different is wrong
but when I was 13 years old
I woke up
one morning
thighs covered in blood
like a war
like a warning
that I
live in a breakable takeable body
an ever-increasingly valuable body
that a woman had
come in the night to replace me
deface me
see,
my body is borrowed
yeah,
I got it on loan
for the time in between my mom and some maggots
I don't need anyone
to hold me
I can hold my own
I got highways for stretchmarks
see where I've
grown
I sing sometimes
like my life is at stake
'cause you're only as loud
/>
as the noises you make
I'm learning to laugh as hard
as I can listen
'cause
silence
is violence
in women and poor people
if more people were screaming then
I could relax
but a good brain ain't diddley
if you don't have the facts
we
live in a breakable takeable world
an ever available possible world
and we can make
music
like we can make do
genius is in a back beat
backseat to nothing if
you're dancing
especially something stupid
like I.Q.
for every lie I unlearn
/>
I learn something new
I sing sometimes for the war that I fight
'cause every tool
is a weapon -
if you hold it right | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
