Indigo Girls - Go Lyrics
Words and music: amy rayNote: this song is a reincarnation of problem childThrough the dustbowl through the debtGrandma was a suffragetteBlacklisted for her publicationBlacklisted for my generationGo, go, goRaise your hands, raise your hands highDon't take a seat don't stand asideThis time don't assume anythingJust go, go, goSo feed the fire and fan the flameI know the kids can stand the rainI know the kids are still upsettersCause rock is cool but the struggle is betterI said go, go, goRaise your hands, raise your hands highDon't take a seat don't stand asideThis time don't assume anythingThis time don't assume anythingI said go, go, goThe truth is i was afraid . . .. . .i felt inferior. . .. . .i felt i excelled in competing with othersAnd i knew instantly that these peopleWere not competing at all, that they were acting in aStrange, powerful trance of movement together.And i was filled with longing to actWith them and with the fear that i could not.Did they tell you it was set in stoneAnd that you would end up aloneUse your years to psych you outYou're too old to care, they're too young to countDid they tell you you would come undoneIf you tried to touch the sunUndermine the undergroundYou're too old to care they're too young to countI said go, go, goAmy ray: electric and acoustic guitars, vocalsEmily saliers: electric guitar, vocalsJohn reynolds: drumsDawson miller: percussionClare kenny: bassCarol isaacs: organ and moogCaroline dale: celloJoan osborne: backing vocalsSpoken word written by meridel le sueur, from "i was marching."
