'Tis Of Thee - Ani Difranco (安妮·迪弗兰科)[00:00:00]
They caught the last poor man[00:00:19]
On a poor man's vacation[00:00:23]
They cuffed him and confiscated his stuff[00:00:27]
They dragged his black a** down to the station[00:00:31]
And said okay the streets are safe now[00:00:35]
All your pretty white children[00:00:39]
Can come out and see Spot run[00:00:42]
And they came out of their houses[00:00:44]
And they looked around[00:00:48]
But they didn't see no one[00:00:50]
And my country 'tis of thee[00:00:53]
To take swings at each other on talk show TV[00:00:57]
Why don't you just go ahead and turn off the sun[00:01:03]
'Cause we'll never live long enough[00:01:06]
To undo everything they've done to you[00:01:09]
Undo everything they've done to you[00:01:19]
Above 96th street[00:01:31]
They're handing out smallpox blankets[00:01:34]
So people don't freeze[00:01:36]
The old dogs have got a new trick[00:01:40]
It's called criminalize the symptoms[00:01:43]
While you spread the disease[00:01:45]
And I hold on hard to something[00:01:47]
Between my teeth when I'm sleeping[00:01:55]
I wake up and my jaw aches[00:01:58]
And the earth is full of earthquakes[00:02:02]
And my country 'tis of thee[00:02:07]
To take shots at each other on prime time TV[00:02:10]
Why don't you just go ahead and turn off the sun[00:02:16]
'Cause we'll never live long enough to[00:02:21]
Undo everything they've done to you[00:02:23]
Undo everything they've done to you[00:02:32]
They caught the last poor man[00:03:22]
Flying away in a shiny red cape[00:03:26]
They took him down to the station[00:03:30]
And they said boy you should have known better[00:03:34]
Than to try and escape[00:03:36]
I ran away with the circus[00:03:39]
'Cause there's still some honest work[00:03:43]
Left for bearded ladies[00:03:45]
But it's not the same goin' town to town[00:03:47]
Since they put everyone in jail[00:03:52]
Except the Cleavers and the Bradys[00:03:54]
And my country 'tis of thee[00:03:57]
To take swings at each other on the talkshow TV[00:04:01]
Why don't you just go ahead and turn off the sun[00:04:06]
'Cause we'll never live long enough to[00:04:10]
Undo everything they've done to you[00:04:13]
Undo everything they've done to you[00:04:23]
