Ani Difranco - Your Next Bold Move lyrics

Your rating:

coming of age during the plague

of reagan and bush

watching capitalism gun down democracy

it had this funny effect on me

i guess



i am cancer

i am HIV

and i'm down at the blue jesus

blue cross hospital

just lookin' up from my pillow

feeling blessed



and the mighty multinationals

have monopolized the oxygen

so it's as easy as breathing

for us all to participate



yes they're buying and selling

off shares of air

and you know it's all around you

but it's hard to point and say "there"

so you just sit on your hands

and quietly contemplate



your next bold move

the next thing you're gonna need to prove

to yourself



what a waste of thumbs that are opposable

to make machines that are disposable

and sell them to seagulls flying in circles

around one big right wing



yes, the left wing was broken long ago

by the slingshot of cointelpro

and now it's so hard to have faith in

anything



especially your next bold move

or the next thing you're gonna need to prove

to yourself



you want to track each trickle

back to its source

and then scream up the faucet

'til your face is hoarse

cuz you're surrounded by a world's worth

of things you just can't excuse



but you've got the hard cough of a chain smoker

and you're at the arctic circle playing strip poker

and it's getting colder and colder

everytime you lose



so go ahead

make your next bold move

tell us

what's the next thing you're gonna need to prove

to yourself
