Ani Difranco - Garden Of Simple Lyrics
Some crazy *****er carved a sculpture out of butterAnd propped it up in the middle of the bonanza breakfast barAnd I am stuffing toast and sausage into my pocketsUnder a sign that says grand openingWhile my dog is waiting in the carI wake up, I check outI fill the tank and wash the windshield cleanThen Im back out on the highwayAnd bang thats when I remember my dream:We were standing in a gardenAnd I had a machine that made silenceIt just sucked up the whole opinionated dinAnd there were no people on the payrollAnd there were no monkeys on our backsAnd I said, show me what you look likeWithout skinScience chases moneyAnd money chases its tailAnd the best minds of my generationCant make bailBut the bacteria are coming to take us downThats my predictionIts the answer to this cultureOf the quick fix prescriptionBut in the garden of simpleWhere all of us are namelessYou were never anything but beautiful to meAnd, you know, they never really owned youYou just carried them aroundAnd then one day you put em downAnd found your hands were freeSo now its early in the morningAt the longitude of memphisAnd the sun is setting sweetly on hong kongAnd the big plan is just to keep spinningCuz the big bang is only just beginningAnd sometimes its all that we can do just to hang onAnd what I meant to say is xxoo which means Im thinking of yaWhich means Ive been thinking of youAll along
