ANI DIFRANCO SHROUD LYRICS
SHROUD LYRICS by ANI DIFRANCO:
From Ani DiFranco's new album, Reprieve)
I
had to leave the House of Fashion
Go forth naked from its doors
Cause women should be allies
And not competitors
And I had to leave the House of God
Cause cross replaced the wheel
And the goddesses were out in the garden
With the plants that nourish and heal
I had to leave the House of Privilege
Spent christmas homeless and feeling bad
To learn that privilege is a headache
That you don't know that you don't have
And I had to leave the House of Television
To start noticing the clouds
It's amazing the stuff you see
When you finally shred that shroud
I had to leave the House of Conformity
[ shroud lyrics from
http://www.lyricsyoulove.com/a/ani_difranco/shroud/ ]In order to make art
I had to be more or less true
To learn to tell the two apart
And I had to leave the House of Fear
Just about as soon as I could crawl
Ignore my face on the wanted posters
Stuck to the post office wall
I had to leave the House of Self-Importance
To doodle my first tattoo
Realize a tattoo is no more permanent
Than I am and who
Ever said that life is suffering
I think they had their finger on the pulse of joy
Ain't the power of trascendence
The greatest one we can employ
Go forth naked from its doors
Cause women should be allies
And not competitors
And I had to leave the House of God
Cause cross replaced the wheel
And the goddesses were out in the garden
With the plants that nourish and heal
I had to leave the House of Privilege
Spent christmas homeless and feeling bad
To learn that privilege is a headache
That you don't know that you don't have
And I had to leave the House of Television
To start noticing the clouds
It's amazing the stuff you see
When you finally shred that shroud
I had to leave the House of Conformity
