Lyrics for Not So Soft by Ani Difranco:
| | | Artist: | Ani Difranco |
| | Album: | Not So Soft | | Track: | Not So Soft | | | | Date Added: | 24/10/2007 | | Views: | 66 | | | | Lyrics: | in a forest of stone underneath a corporate canopy
where the sun rarely filters down
/>
the ground is not so soft
it is not so soft
they build buildings to house
people making money
or they build buildings to make money housing people
it's true,
like a lot of things are true
foraging from a phone booth on the forest floor
/>
that is not so soft
i look up, it looks like the builidings are burning
but it's
just the sun, setting in the windows
the solar system calling an end to another business
day
eternally circling, signalling the rythmic clicking on and off
of computers
/>
the pulse .. of the american machine
the pulse .. that draws death dancing
/>
out of anonymous side streets
you know, the ones that always get dumped on
but
never get ploughed
it draws death dancing out of little countries
with funny
languages
where the ground is getting harder and it was
not that soft before
/>
but those who call the shots
are never in the line of fire
why
when
there's life for hire out there
if the flag of truth were raised
we could watch every
liar rise to wave it
here we learn america like a script
playright, birthright - same
thing
we bring ourselves to the role
we're all rehearsing for the presidency
i
always wanted to be commander in chief
of my own one woman army
but i can
envision the mediocrity of my finest hour
it's the failed america in me
it's the fear
that lives
in a forest of stone, underneath the corporate canopy
where the sun rarely
filters down
and the ground
is not so soft | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
