ANI DIFRANCO SUBDIVISION LYRICS
SUBDIVISION LYRICS by ANI DIFRANCO:
From Ani DiFranco's new album, Revelling/Reckoning )
White people are so scared of
black people.
They bulldoze out to the country, and put up houses on little loop-d-loop streets.
And while america gets it's heart cut right out of it's chest
The berlin wall still runs down main street separating east side from west.
And nothing is stirring, not even a mouse, in the boarded up stores and the broken down houses
So they hang colorful banners off all the street lamps
Just to prove they got no manners, no mercy, and no sense.
And I wonder then what it will take for my city to rise.
First we admit our mistakes and then we open our eyes.
The ghost of old buildings are haunting parking lots in the city of good neighbors that history forgot.
I remember the first time I saw someone lying on the cold street
I thought, "i can't just walk past you, this can't just be true."
[ subdivision lyrics from http://www.lyricsyoulove.com/ ]But I learned by example to just keep moving my feet.
It's amazing the things that we all learn to do.
So we're led by denial like lambs to the slaughter
Serving empires of style and carbonated sugar water and the old farmroad's a four-lane
That leads to the mall and my dreams are all guillotines waiting to fall
And I wonder then what it will take for my country to rise.
First we admit our mistakes and then we open our eyes.
'til nation's last taker succumbs to one last dumb decision
And america the beautiful is just one big subdivision.
They bulldoze out to the country, and put up houses on little loop-d-loop streets.
And while america gets it's heart cut right out of it's chest
The berlin wall still runs down main street separating east side from west.
And nothing is stirring, not even a mouse, in the boarded up stores and the broken down houses
So they hang colorful banners off all the street lamps
Just to prove they got no manners, no mercy, and no sense.
And I wonder then what it will take for my city to rise.
First we admit our mistakes and then we open our eyes.
The ghost of old buildings are haunting parking lots in the city of good neighbors that history forgot.
I remember the first time I saw someone lying on the cold street
