Ani Difranco: My I.q.

aus dem Album: Puddle Dive

Songtext:
When i was four years old Malvorlagen Frühling
They tried to test my i.q.
They showed me a picture
Of 3 oranges and a pear
They said,
Which one is different? Bergisch Gladbach Immobilien
It does not belong
They taught me different is wrong
But when i was 13 years old
I woke up one morning
Thighs covered in blood Flyer Werbung
Like a war
Like a warning
That i live in a breakable takeable body
An ever-increasingly valuable body
That a woman had come in the night to replace me Kinderfragen
Deface me
See,
My body is borrowed
Yeah, i got it on loan
For the time in between my mom and some maggots Begleitagentur München
I don't need anyone to hold me
I can hold my own
I got highways for stretchmarks
See where i've grown
I sing sometimes Spannbänder
Like my life is at stake
'cause you're only as loud
As the noises you make
I'm learning to laugh as hard
As i can listen Hennef Immobilien
'cause silence
Is violence
In women and poor people
If more people were screaming then i could relax
But a good brain ain't diddley Immobilien Königswinter
If you don't have the facts
We live in a breakable takeable world
An ever available possible world
And we can make music
Like we can make do Hausverwaltung Bonn
Genius is in a back beat
Backseat to nothing if you're dancing
Especially something stupid
Like i.q.
For every lie i unlearn Düsseldorf Immobilien
I learn something new
I sing sometimes for the war that i fight
'cause every tool is a weapon -
If you hold it right.
