Ani Difranco Puddle Dive My I.q. When i was four years old They tried to test my i.q. They showed me a picture Of 3 oranges and a pear They said, Which one is different? It does not belong They taught me different is wrong But when i was 13 years old I woke up one morning Thighs covered in blood Like a war Like a warning That i live in a breakable takeable body An ever-increasingly valuable body That a woman had come in the night to replace me Deface me See, My body is borrowed Yeah, i got it on loan For the time in between my mom and some maggots I don't need anyone to hold me I can hold my own I got highways for stretchmarks See where i've grown I sing sometimes Like my life is at stake 'cause you're only as loud As the noises you make I'm learning to laugh as hard As i can listen 'cause silence Is violence In women and poor people If more people were screaming then i could relax But a good brain ain't diddley If you don't have the facts We live in a breakable takeable world An ever available possible world And we can make music Like we can make do Genius is in a back beat Backseat to nothing if you're dancing Especially something stupid Like i.q. For every lie i unlearn I learn something new I sing sometimes for the war that i fight 'cause every tool is a weapon - If you hold it right. |
