《Animal》歌词

[00:00:00] Animal - Ani Difranco (安妮·迪弗兰科)

[00:00:38] More and more there is this animal

[00:00:43] Looking out through my eyes

[00:00:48] At all the traffic on the road to nowhere

[00:00:52] At all the shiny stuff around to buy

[00:00:58] At all the wires in the air

[00:01:02] At all the people shopping

[00:01:05] For the same blank stare

[00:01:08] At america the drastic

[00:01:10] That isolated geographic

[00:01:12] That＇s become infested with millionaires

[00:01:14] When you grow up surrounded

[00:01:21] By willful ignorance

[00:01:25] You have to believe

[00:01:26] Mercy has its own country

[00:01:30] And that it＇s round and borderless

[00:01:34] And then you have to grow wings

[00:01:38] And rise above it all

[00:01:46] Like there

[00:01:48] Where that hawk is circling

[00:01:54] Above that strip mall

[00:02:19] More and more there is this animal

[00:02:24] Looking out through my eyes

[00:02:28] Seeing that animals only take from this world

[00:02:33] What they need to survive

[00:02:35] But she is prowling through all the religions of men

[00:02:43] Seeing that time and time and time again

[00:02:48] Their gods have made them

[00:02:50] Special and above

[00:02:53] Nature＇s law

[00:02:56] And the respect thereof

[00:02:58] And I think when you grow up surrounded

[00:03:03] By willful ignorance

[00:03:07] You have to believe that mercy has its own country

[00:03:13] And that it＇s round and borderless

[00:03:17] And then you just grow wings

[00:03:21] And rise above it all

[00:03:29] Like there where that hawk is circling

[00:03:37] Above that strip mall

[00:04:02] Ask any eco-system

[00:04:04] Harm here is harm there

[00:04:10] And there and there

[00:04:13] And aggression begets aggression

[00:04:15] It＇s a very simple lesson

[00:04:17] That long preceded any king of heaven

[00:04:23] And there＇s this brutal imperial power

[00:04:27] That my passport says I represent

[00:04:31] But it will never represent where my heart lives

[00:04:37] Only vaguely where it went

[00:04:42] Cuz I know when you grow up surrounded

[00:04:47] By willful ignorance

[00:04:51] You learn that mercy has its own country

[00:04:57] And that it＇s round and borderless

[00:05:00] And then you just grow wings

[00:05:06] And rise above it all

[00:05:13] Like there

[00:05:16] Where that hawk is circling

[00:05:21] Above that strip mall
