[00:00.00] 作词 : DiFranco
[02:44.78] album:reprieve
[00:51.52] ani difranco-reprieve
[00:56.28]
[00:00.61] manhattan is an island
[00:01.72] like the women who are
[00:03.51] surrounded by children in the car
[00:05.47] surrounded by cars
[00:06.88]
[00:07.13] or manhattan was a project
[00:09.63] that projected the worst of mankind
[00:12.10] first one and then the other
[00:14.32] has made its mark on my mind
[00:16.19]
[00:19.03] it's sixty years later
[00:21.12] near the hypo-center of the a-bomb
[00:23.49] i'm standing in the middle of hiroshima
[00:25.57] watching a twisted old eucalyptus tree wave
[00:29.35] one of the very few lives
[00:30.67] that survived and lives on
[00:32.67] remembering the day
[00:34.02] it was suddenly thousands of degrees
[00:36.02] in the shade
[00:37.52]
[00:37.77] and what all of nature gave birth to
[00:39.45] terror took in a blinding raid
[00:42.86] with the kind of pain
[00:44.02] it would take cancer so many years just to say
[00:47.52]
[00:57.50] oh to grow up gagged and blindfolded
[00:59.96] a great big mans world in your little girls head
[01:03.00] the voice of the great mother drowned out
[01:04.87] in the constant honking haunting
[01:06.36] the accident scene up ahead
[01:11.30] oh to grow up hypnotized
[01:12.35] and then try to shake yourself awake
[01:15.31] cause you can sense what has been lost
[01:18.49] cause you can sense what is at stake
[01:20.46]
[01:22.80] yeah it took me a few years
[01:24.08] to catch on that those days
[01:25.35] i catch everyone's eye
[01:26.88] correspond with those nights of the month
[01:29.55] when the moon gleans like an egg in the sky
[01:32.30] and men are using a sense they don't even know
[01:34.71] they have just to watch me walk by
[01:36.99] and me, i'm supposed to be sensible,
[01:39.21] leave my animal outside to cry
[01:42.99] but when all of nature conspires
[01:44.47] to make me her glorious whore
[01:46.93] it's cause in my body
[01:48.03] i hold the secret recipe of precisely
[01:51.60] what life is for
[01:52.65]
[01:52.84] and the patriarchy that looks to shame me for
[01:55.24] it is the same one making war
[01:57.43] and i've said too much already
[01:59.49] but i'll tell you something more
[02:04.08] to split yourself in two
[02:06.46] is just the most radical thing you can do
[02:08.59] so girl if that shit ain't up to you,
[02:10.40] then you simply are not free
[02:12.62] cause from the sunlight on my hair
[02:14.44] to which eggs i grow to term
[02:16.72] to the expression that i wear,
[02:18.91] all i really own is me
[02:21.20]
[02:22.82] i mean to split yourself in two
[02:25.05] is just the most radical thing you can do
[02:27.42] goddess forbid that little adam
[02:29.97] should grow so jealous of eve
[02:32.88]
[02:34.95] and in the face of the great farce
[02:38.63] of the nuclear age
[02:40.01] feminism ain't about equality,
[02:42.57] it's about reprieve
