Evolve — текст песни (Ani Difranco)

I walk in stride with people

Much taller than me

And partly its the boots but

Mostly its my chi

And Im becoming transfixed

With nature and my part in it

Which I believe just signifies

Im finally waking up



And theres this moth outside my kitchen door

Shes bonkers for that bare bulb

Flying round in circles

Bashing in her exoskull

And out in the woods she navigates fine by the moon

But get her around a light bulb and shes doomed



She is trying to evolve

Shes just trying to evolve



Now lets get talking reefer madness

Like some arrogant government cant

By any stretch of the imagination

Outlaw a plant

Yes, their supposed authority over nature

Is a dream

Cmon people

Weve got to come clean



Cuz they are locking our sons

And our daughters in cages

They are taking by the thousands

Our lives from under us

Its a crash course in religious fundamentals

Now lets all go to war

Get some bang for our buck



I am trying to evolve

Im just trying to evolve



Gunnin for high score in the land of dreams

Morbid bluish-white consumers ogling luminous screens

On the trail of forgetting

Cruising without a care

The jet set wont abide by that pesky jet lag

And our lives boil down to an hour or two

When someone pulls a camera out of a bag



And I am trying to evolve

Im just trying to evolve



So I walk like Im on a mission

Cuz thats the way I groove

I got more and more to do

I got less and less to prove

It took me too long to realize

That I dont take good pictures

Cuz I have the kind of beauty

That moves
