Roll With It - Ani DiFranco

She says my ass hurts

When i sit down

She says my feet hurt

From just standing around

I think my body

Is as restless as my mind

And i don’t know if i can roll with it

This time

Packed his uniforms

And drove him to the base

She was crying all the way

The world looked her in the face

And said

Roll with it, baby

Make it your career

Keep the home fires burning

Till america is in the clear

The mainstream is so polluted with lies

Once you get wet, it’s so hard to get dry

We’re all taught how to justify

History

As it passes by

And it’s your world

That comes crashing down

When the big boys decide

To throw their weight around

But just roll with it baby

Make it your career

Keep the home fires burning

Till america is in the clear

What if the enemy

Isn’t in a distant land

What if the enemy lies behind

The voice of command

The sound of war

Is a child’s cry

Behind tinted windows

They just drive by

All i know is that those

Who are going to be killed

Aren’t those who preside

On capitol hill

I told him

Don’t fill the front lines

Of their war

Those assholes aren’t worth dying for

But he said

Roll with it, baby

Make it your career

Keep the home fires burning

Till america is in the clear

She says my ass hurts

When i sit down

She says my feet hurt

From just standing around

I think my body is as restless as my mind

And i’m not gonna roll with it this time

No, i’m not gonna roll with it this time
