[00:00.54] Ani Difranco - J
[00:02.10] .
[00:28.11] Can't sit on my porch and smoke a J
[00:31.49] And remember how peaceful life can be
[00:34.80] But all night long are a bunch of pushers
[00:38.05] Selling drugs right there on my TV
[00:41.73] Drugs that whether or not I buy
[00:44.86] Are gonna end up in my water supply
[00:48.24] Along with who knows what else, who knows when,
[00:50.73] Just gotta take a deep breath and drink it in
[00:55.74] .
[01:01.61] And 'round here there's one thing people know
[01:04.99] It's that government ain't there for you, it's all for show
[01:08.49] And I'm trying to tell them it don't have to be so
[01:11.80] But I can understand that their confidence is low
[01:15.24] Cause 'round here people're so high they can't see
[01:18.80] Over the tops of the tall pine trees
[01:22.17] Down to the mouth of the Mississippi
[01:24.86] .
[01:28.05] Oh, blood ignited in a blighted sky
[01:39.05] Oh, blood on the water like we all could die
[01:42.30] Blood in the reeds glistening in the sun
[01:45.42] Blood on our hands, each and everyone,
[01:49.05] Here in the calm before the wars
[01:52.30] When the earth shrugs us off like dinosaurs
[01:55.80] Here in the sunset days of yore
[01:58.99] The first signs washing ashore
[02:02.93] .
[02:09.30] And goddess, come and lift us here in deepest Louisiana
[02:15.92] In the gut, where hunches come from
[02:18.87] A message goes out loud as it can
[02:24.61] .
[02:27.61] And you'd have thought we'd have come more far somehow
[02:31.05] Since the changing of the guard and all
[02:34.24] I mean dude could be FDR right now
[02:37.61] And instead he's just shifting his weight
[02:40.11]
[02:41.09] And the disappointment is the knockout blow
[02:44.59] Filmed in torturous slow-mo
[02:47.77] Oh hope, please come where I can see
[02:51.02] Don't let the poison get the best of me
[02:54.96] .
[03:01.40] And goddess, come and lift us here in deepest Louisiana
[03:06.96] In the gut, where hunches come from
[03:11.02] A message goes out loud as it can
[03:16.77] .
[03:19.27] Of, truth is for telling, truth is foretold
[03:23.40] Truth is for those with the guts to behold
[03:26.52] We got vampires down here in Louisiana
[03:29.84] We need voodoo dolls, we need talisman
[03:33.02] We need wooden stakes and shards of light
[03:36.65] We need harbingers riding through the night
[03:39.77] We need fountain pens, we need whale harpoons
[03:43.52] To overthrow the oil tycoons
[03:46.59] .
[03:46.90] Cause there's no fish in the water, no birds in the sky
[03:50.34] No life in the soil, no end to the lie
[03:53.46] No time like the present and it's passing us by
[03:56.84] But it's never too late, never too late to try
[04:00.15] Cause if we all had to change, we all just would
[04:03.40] And we would move closer and that would be good
[04:07.02] And we would buy local and we would buy less
[04:10.35] And we'd realize that wasn't our happiness
[04:13.98] No, that wasn't our happiness
[04:17.29] No, that wasn't our happiness
[04:20.60] No, that wasn't our happiness
[04:24.04] No, that wasn't…
[04:26.04] .
[04:34.10] And goddess, come and lift us here in deepest Louisiana
[04:40.85] And goddess, come and lift us here in deepest Louisiana
[04:47.23] And goddess, come and lift us here in deepest Louisiana
[04:54.23] In the gut, where hunches come from
