Ani Difranco - Animal Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • More and more there is this animal
  • Looking out through my eyes
  • At all the traffic on the road to nowhere
  • At all the shiny stuff around to buy
  • At all the wires in the air
  • At all the people shopping
  • For the same blank stare
  • At america the drastic
  • That isolated geographic
  • That's become infested with millionaires
  • When you grow up surrounded
  • By willful ignorance
  • You have to believe
  • Mercy has its own country
  • And that it's round and borderless
  • And then you have to grow wings
  • And rise above it all
  • Like there
  • Where that hawk is circling
  • Above that strip mall
  • More and more there is this animal
  • Looking out through my eyes
  • Seeing that animals only take from this world
  • What they need to survive
  • But she is prowling through all the religions of men
  • Seeing that time and time and time again
  • Their gods have made them
  • Special and above
  • Nature's law
  • And the respect thereof
  • And I think when you grow up surrounded
  • By willful ignorance
  • You have to believe that mercy has its own country
  • And that it's round and borderless
  • And then you just grow wings
  • And rise above it all
  • Like there where that hawk is circling
  • Above that strip mall
  • Ask any eco-system
  • Harm here is harm there
  • And there and there
  • And aggression begets aggression
  • It's a very simple lesson
  • That long preceded any king of heaven
  • And there's this brutal imperial power
  • That my passport says I represent
  • But it will never represent where my heart lives
  • Only vaguely where it went
  • Cuz I know when you grow up surrounded
  • By willful ignorance
  • You learn that mercy has its own country
  • And that it's round and borderless
  • And then you just grow wings
  • And rise above it all
  • Like there
  • Where that hawk is circling
  • Above that strip mall
