Animal - Ani Difranco (安妮·迪弗兰科)[00:00:00]
More and more there is this animal[00:00:38]
Looking out through my eyes[00:00:43]
At all the traffic on the road to nowhere[00:00:48]
At all the shiny stuff around to buy[00:00:52]
At all the wires in the air[00:00:58]
At all the people shopping[00:01:02]
For the same blank stare[00:01:05]
At america the drastic[00:01:08]
That isolated geographic[00:01:10]
That's become infested with millionaires[00:01:12]
When you grow up surrounded[00:01:14]
By willful ignorance[00:01:21]
You have to believe[00:01:25]
Mercy has its own country[00:01:26]
And that it's round and borderless[00:01:30]
And then you have to grow wings[00:01:34]
And rise above it all[00:01:38]
Like there[00:01:46]
Where that hawk is circling[00:01:48]
Above that strip mall[00:01:54]
More and more there is this animal[00:02:19]
Looking out through my eyes[00:02:24]
Seeing that animals only take from this world[00:02:28]
What they need to survive[00:02:33]
But she is prowling through all the religions of men[00:02:35]
Seeing that time and time and time again[00:02:43]
Their gods have made them[00:02:48]
Special and above[00:02:50]
Nature's law[00:02:53]
And the respect thereof[00:02:56]
And I think when you grow up surrounded[00:02:58]
By willful ignorance[00:03:03]
You have to believe that mercy has its own country[00:03:07]
And that it's round and borderless[00:03:13]
And then you just grow wings[00:03:17]
And rise above it all[00:03:21]
Like there where that hawk is circling[00:03:29]
Above that strip mall[00:03:37]
Ask any eco-system[00:04:02]
Harm here is harm there[00:04:04]
And there and there[00:04:10]
And aggression begets aggression[00:04:13]
It's a very simple lesson[00:04:15]
That long preceded any king of heaven[00:04:17]
And there's this brutal imperial power[00:04:23]
That my passport says I represent[00:04:27]
But it will never represent where my heart lives[00:04:31]
Only vaguely where it went[00:04:37]
Cuz I know when you grow up surrounded[00:04:42]
By willful ignorance[00:04:47]
You learn that mercy has its own country[00:04:51]
And that it's round and borderless[00:04:57]
And then you just grow wings[00:05:00]
And rise above it all[00:05:06]
Like there[00:05:13]
Where that hawk is circling[00:05:16]
Above that strip mall[00:05:21]
