Ani Difranco - Face Up And Sing lyrics

in a crowded subway car

some guy tried to feed me some stupid line

in some stupid bar

I see the same shit everyday

the landscape looks so bleak

I think I'll take the first one of you's home

that does something unique

some chick says

thank you for saying all the things I never do

I say

the thanks I get is to take all the shit for you

it's nice that you listen

it'd be nicer if you joined in

as long as you play their game girl

you're never going to win

today I just want someone to entertain me

I'm tired of being so fierce

I'm tired of being so friendly

you don't have to be a supermodel

to do the animal thing

you don't have to be a supergenius

to open your face up and sing

somebody do something

anything soon

I know I can't be the only

whatever I am in the room

so why am I so lonely?

why am I so tired?

I need company

I need backup

I need to be inspired
