Tis of Thee

'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]
