Ani Difranco Roll With It lyrics

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"
