Lyrics for Subdivision by Ani Difranco:
| | | Artist: | Ani Difranco |
| | Album: | Reckoning | | Track: | Subdivision | | | | Date Added: | 24/10/2007 | | Views: | 59 | | | | Lyrics: | white people are so scared of black people
they bulldoze out to the country
and put up
houses on little loop-dee-loop streets
and while america gets its heart cut right out of its
chest
the berlin wall still runs down main street
separating east side from west
/>
and nothing is stirring, not even a mouse
in the boarded-up stores and the broken-down
houses
so they hang colorful banners off all the street lamps
just to prove they got
no manners
no mercy and no sense
and i'm wondering what it will take
/>
for my city to rise
first we admit our mistakes
then we open our eyes
the
ghosts of old buildings are haunting parking lots
in the city of good neighbors that history
forgot
i remember the first time i saw someone
lying on the cold street
/>
i thought: i can't just walk past here
this can't just be true
but i learned by
example
to just keep moving my feet
it's amazing the things that we all learn to do
/>
so we're led by denial like lambs to the slaughter
serving empires of style and
carbonated sugar water
and the old farm road's a four-lane that leads to the mall
and
our dreams are all guillotines waiting to fall
i'm wondering what it will take
/>
for my country to rise
first we admit our mistakes
and then we open our eyes
/>
or nature succumbs to one last dumb decision
and america the beautiful
is just one
