Lyrics for Old Old Song by Ani Difranco:
| | | Artist: | Ani Difranco |
| | Album: | Reckoning/Revelling: Reckoning Disc | | Track: | Old Old Song | | | | Date Added: | 24/10/2007 | | Views: | 55 | | | | Lyrics: | i'll sing you a song that starts out descriptive
and locates a time and a place
like a
dinner table where a whole family
is just sitting down to say grace
an old old song
that moves into action
taking its sweet sweet time
and waits until we all say amen
/>
again and again in rhyme
it's the story of a father and a mother
who
battle each other over nothin'
with a couple of kids trying to figure
which way the
plot's spinning
who's winning and who is bluffing
it's a story as common as a
penny, son
it ain't really worth anything to anyone
poor little sore little
song
that aches like a muscle each time that it moves
sad little song that you play
/>
and you play and you play
and you play 'til you lose
while history is outside
writing a recipe book
for every earthly pain
this song is inside finger painting dark
swirls
again and again and they all look the same
cuz what if you come home
from school one day
and you find your whole family's at war
and there's this ominous
silence just waiting to be broken
and there's secret places for hiding underneath the
floorboards
and everyone seems to be bracing
for the subharmonic thunder of the next
bomb
and everyone seems to be waiting for the cops to bust in
with their guns drawn
/>
at the bleak light of dawn
it's a story as common as a penny, son
i don't
think it's worth anything to anyone | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
