Hello Birmingham - Ani Difranco (安妮·迪弗兰科)[00:00:00]

Hold me down[00:00:41]

I am floating away[00:00:46]

Into the overcast skies[00:00:53]

Over my home town[00:00:55]

On election day[00:00:58]

What is it about Birmingham[00:01:04]

What is it about buffalo[00:01:11]

Did the hate filled want to build bunkers[00:01:16]

In your beautiful red earth[00:01:20]

They want to build them in our shiny white snow[00:01:23]

And now I've drawn closed the curtains[00:01:27]

In this little booth[00:01:33]

Where the truth has no place to stand[00:01:35]

And I am feeling oh so powerless[00:01:39]

In this stupid booth[00:01:44]

With this useless little lever in my hand[00:01:46]

And outside[00:01:50]

My city is bracing[00:01:52]

For the next killing thing[00:01:54]

Standing by the bridge[00:01:57]

And praying for the next doctor Martin Luther king[00:01:59]

It was just one shot[00:02:17]

Through the kitchen window[00:02:23]

Just one or two miles from here[00:02:29]

If you fly like a crow[00:02:34]

A bullet came to visit a doctor[00:02:42]

In his one safe place[00:02:46]

A bullet ensuring the right to life[00:02:53]

Whizzed past his kid and his wife[00:02:56]

And knocked his glasses right off of his face[00:02:59]

And the blood poured off the pulpit[00:03:03]

Yeah the blood poured down the picket lines[00:03:09]

And the hatred was immediate yeah[00:03:15]

And the vengeance was divine[00:03:20]

So they went and stuffed god down the barrel of[00:03:27]

A gun[00:03:32]

And after him they stuffed his only son[00:03:34]

Hello Birmingham it's buffalo[00:03:56]

I heard you had some trouble down there again[00:04:07]

Just calling to let to know[00:04:13]

That somebody understands[00:04:14]

I was once escorted[00:04:18]

Through the doors[00:04:20]

Of a clinic[00:04:22]

By a man[00:04:23]

In a bulletproof vest[00:04:24]

And no bombs[00:04:28]

Went off that day[00:04:30]

So I am still here to say[00:04:32]

Birmingham[00:04:35]

I'm wishing you all of my best[00:04:36]

Oh Birmingham[00:04:40]

I'm wishing you all of my best[00:04:42]

Oh Birmingham[00:04:46]

I'm wishing you all of my best[00:04:48]

On this election day[00:04:52]
