Ani Difranco - Looking For The Holes Lyrics
I am looking for the holesThe holes in your jeansBecause I want to knowAre they worn out in the seatOr are they worn out in the kneesThere are so many ways to wearWhat weve got before its goneTo make use of what is thereI dont wear anything I cant wipe my hands onDo your policies fit between the headlinesAre they written in newsprint, are they distantMine are crossing an empty parking lotThey are a woman walking homeAt nightAloneThey are six string that singAnd wood that hums against my hipboneWe cant afford to do anyone harmBecause we owe them our livesEach breath is recycled from someone elses lungsAre enemies are the very air in disguiseYou can talk a great philosophyBut if you cant be kind to peopleEvery dayIt doesnt mean that much to meIts the little things you doThe little things you sayIts the love you give along the wayWhen we patch things upThey say a job well doneBut when we ask whyWhere did the rips come fromThey say we are subversiveAnd extreme, of courseWe are just trying to track a problem to its sourceBecause we know we cant sit backAnd let people come to harmWe owe them our livesEach breath is recycled from someone elses lungsOur enemies are the very airOur enemies are the airWe are looking for the holesThe holes in your jeansBecause we want to knowAre they worn out in the seatOr are they worn out in the knees
