They put you in your place, and they tell you to behaveBut no one can be free until we're all on even grade.
-
Let's grow old and die together. Let's do it now.
-
They say that the truth will set you freeBut then again, so will a lie...It depends if you're trying to get to the promised landOr if you're just trying to get by.
-
I think you're the least fucked-up person I've ever met,And that may be as close to the real thing as I'm ever gonna get.
-
I am writing graffiti on your body.I am drawing the story of how hard we tried.
-
Because the world owes me nothingAnd we owe each other the world.
-
There's this brutal imperial power, that my passport says I represent.But it will never represent where my heart lives, only vaguely where it went.
-
In any marginalized community, whether people identify themselves or not affects us all.
-
We have to be able to criticize what we love,Say what we have to say,'Cause if you're not trying to make something better,Then as far as I can tell, you are just in the way.
-
So we're led by denial like lambs to the slaughterServing empires of style and carbonated sugar waterAnd the old farm road's a four-lane that leads to the mallAnd our dreams are all guillotines waiting to fall.
-
Life is a b movie.It's stupid and it's strange,A directionless story,And the dialogue is lame.But in the he said, she said,Sometimes there's some poetry,If you turn your back long enough,And let it happen naturally.
-
I love all those great 'f' words - feminism, folk music..
-
But what if no one's watching?What if when we're dead, we are just dead?What if there's no time to lose?What if there's things we gotta do,Things that need to be said?
-
I think I'm done gunnin to get closer.To some imagined bliss.I gotta knuckle down.And just be ok with this.
-
My thighs have been involved in many accidents,And now I can't get insured,And I don't need to be lured by you.My cunt is built like a wound that won't heal,And now you don't have to askBecause you know how I feel.
-
'Course numb is an old hat, old as my oldest memories.See that one's my mother, and that one's my father, and that one in the hat, that's me.It's a skill I'd hoped to abandon, when I got out on the open road,But any more pent up emotion and I think I'm gonna explode.
-
If you're not angry, you're just stupid, or you don't care.
-
I believe in that step of not just making revolutionary music but making it in a way that challenges the system, Especially in this day and age when the tools for producing and distributing are more and more accessible to the average Joe and Josephine. The possibility of emancipation and control and independence is so much greater now.
-
The windows of my soul are made of one way glassDon't bother looking into my eyesIf there's something you want to know - just ask.
-
I remember now how our bright spring green deepened.With the years the seasons changed,And we were lush as the underside of August.
-
Now I wonder who is gonna be president: Tweedle Dumb, or Tweedle Dumber-And who is gonna have the big block buster box office this summer.
-
I am looking for the holes,The holes in your jeansBecause I want to know:Are they worn out in the seat,Or are they worn out in the knees?
-
So my heart finally broke. It was so long bent.And it broke in three places when it finally went.It wanted only to say what it meant.So it suffered every punishment.
-
So I’ll walk the plank and I’ll jump with a smile.If I’m gonna go down, I’m gonna do it with style,and you won't see me surrender, you won't hear me confess,'Cuz you've left me with nothing, but i've worked with less.
