Lyrics for On Every Corner by Ani Difranco:
| | | Artist: | Ani Difranco |
| | Album: | Not So Soft | | Track: | On Every Corner | | | | Date Added: | 24/10/2007 | | Views: | 57 | | | | Lyrics: | death
has been your lover
he has brought you
the edges of your life
and
now you are looking over
and all we can say is
it's gonna be all right
and I am
looking forward
to looking back on these days
when on every corner
someone
holds a sign
that says I'm homeless
I'm hungry and
I have AIDS
/>
how will they define our generation
in the coming decades
who will tell the
story
and what will they say?
will they say the victims
were thought of as
criminals
while the guilty sat on high
deciding their fate
ticking off
statistics in their spare time
tell me,
which is the crime?
may you
never test positive
pregnancy
HIV
may you never be the receptacle of blame
/>
may you never be the scapegoat
for a whole
world full of shame
may you
never be fighting for your life
and at the same time
have to fight for your name
/>
there are too few who open both eyes
we sit back in our easy chairs
and we
try to sympathize
whether from the point of a needle or
the edge of our beds
we
too, like too many others,
could be dead
our actions
will define us
/>
before a single definition can be said
yeah, so what if god is testing us
what if
that's true
what are you going to do
what is the answer
