The American Dream

Abel was a fucking pussy
Always doing what he was told
But that story tends to gets old
Personally, I admire Cain...
Never taking anybody's shit
Finally found himself an exit
Even if it was Abel he had to hit
It seemed pretty worth it
And then God punishes him...
Well, where's God now?
Did he decide to take a vacation?
Or turn his cheek from the war location?
In war it's more than just
Hitting each other over the head
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers are dead
And dying each day
And I know there's no such thing as world peace
But people should at least
Have the choice to stay in one piece
And what happened to "justice for all"?
Minorities are the ones taking the fall
Let me marry a girl; let him marry a man!
Since when did marriage become something you could ban?
I don't want a fucking civil union
They say "keep fighting, it'll happen soon"... When?
So don't tell me that this is the Land of the Free
Cause at this rate, who's gonna wanna settle for the American Dream?

Your House by Ani DiFranco

the wind
was applauding
my passing
your house
how tempting, i keep your key still on my ring
i have half a mind to open the gate
how easy to climb your fire escapes of steel
so familiar
oh i feel like two
of the plain of the face of you
i was hidden by the night
but not enough
every night came back to me
and the wind just passed by
disappointedly
how weak am i that i can't
no i can't
i can't even walk by
