《My IQ》歌词

[00:00:00] My IQ - Ani Difranco

[00:00:35] When I was four years old

[00:00:38] They tried to test my I Q

[00:00:40] They showed me a picture of 3 oranges and a pear

[00:00:42] They said which one is different

[00:00:44] It does not belong

[00:00:46] They taught me different is wrong

[00:00:48] But when I was 13 years old

[00:00:50] I woke up one morning

[00:00:53] Thighs covered in blood

[00:00:54] Like a war

[00:00:55] Like a warning

[00:00:56] That I live in a breakable takeable body

[00:00:57] An ever-increasingly valuable body

[00:00:58] That a woman had come in the night to replace me

[00:01:01] Deface me

[00:01:04] See my body is borrowed

[00:01:05] Yeah I got it on loan

[00:01:07] For the time in between my mom and some maggots

[00:01:09] I don't need anyone to hold me

[00:01:11] I can hold my own

[00:01:12] I got highways for stretchmarks

[00:01:13] See where I've grown

[00:01:18] I sing sometimes

[00:01:19] Like my life is at stake

[00:01:21] 'Cause you're only as loud

[00:01:22] As the noises you make

[00:01:24] I'm learning to laugh as hard

[00:01:25] As I can listen

[00:01:26] 'Cause silence

[00:01:26] Is violence

[00:01:27] In women and poor people

[00:01:29] If more people were screaming then I could relax

[00:01:30] But a good brain ain't diddley

[00:01:32] If you don't have the facts

[00:01:35] We live in a breakable takeable world

[00:01:36] An ever available possible world

[00:01:37] And we can make music

[00:01:38] Like we can make do

[00:01:41] Genius is in a back beat

[00:01:43] Backseat to nothing if you're dancing

[00:01:44] Especially something stupid

[00:01:46] Like I Q

[00:01:47] For every lie I unlearn

[00:01:49] I learn something new

[00:01:51] I sing sometimes for the war that I fight

[00:01:53] 'Cause every tool is a weapon -

[00:01:57] If you hold it right
