On Every Corner - Ani Difranco[00:00:00]
Death[00:00:15]
Has been your lover[00:00:21]
He has brought you[00:00:23]
The edges of your life[00:00:24]
And now you are looking over[00:00:28]
And all we can say is[00:00:30]
Its gonna be all right[00:00:33]
And I am looking forward[00:00:35]
To looking back on these days[00:00:38]
When on every corner[00:00:41]
Someone holds a sign[00:00:45]
That says Im homeless[00:00:47]
Im hungry and[00:00:48]
I have aids[00:00:49]
How will they define our generation[00:01:07]
In the coming decades[00:01:10]
Who will tell the story[00:01:15]
And what will they say [00:01:17]
Will they say the victims[00:01:21]
Were thought of as criminals[00:01:22]
While the guilty sat on high[00:01:24]
Deciding their fate[00:01:26]
Ticking off statistics in their spare time[00:01:28]
Tell me [00:01:31]
Which is the crime [00:01:32]
May you never test positive[00:01:47]
Pregnancy[00:01:50]
Hiv[00:01:50]
May you never be the receptacle of blame[00:01:51]
May you never be the scapegoat[00:01:56]
For a whole[00:01:58]
World full of shame[00:02:00]
May you never be fighting for your life[00:02:03]
And at the same time[00:02:04]
Have to fight for your name[00:02:06]
There are too few who open both eyes[00:02:35]
We sit back in our easy chairs[00:02:37]
And we try to sympathize[00:02:38]
Whether from the point of a needle or[00:02:39]
The edge of our beds[00:02:41]
We too like too many others [00:02:42]
Could be dead[00:02:43]
Our actions[00:02:44]
Will define us[00:02:45]
Before a single definition can be said[00:02:46]
Yeah so what if God is testing us[00:02:49]
What if thats true[00:02:51]
What are you going to do[00:02:52]
What is the answer[00:02:58]
To you[00:03:00]
Death[00:03:09]
Has been your lover[00:03:18]
He has brought you[00:03:20]
The edges of your life[00:03:21]
And now you are looking over[00:03:25]
And all we can say is[00:03:28]
Its gonna be all right[00:03:31]
And I am looking forward[00:03:33]
To looking back on these days[00:03:36]
When on every corner[00:03:40]
Someone holds a sign[00:03:44]
That says Im homeless[00:03:46]
Im hungry and[00:03:47]
I have aids[00:03:48]
