Ani Difranco ~ 'tis Of Thee


'tis of thee They caught the last poor man On a poor man's vacation They cuffed him and confiscated his stuff They dragged his black ass down to the station And said, ok, the streets are safe now All your pretty white children can come out and see spot run And they came out of their houses And they looked around But they didn't see no one My country 'tis of thee To take swings at each other on the talkshow tv Why don't you just go ahead and turn off the sun Cuz we'll never live long enough To undo everything they've done to you Undo everything they've done to you Above 96th street They're handing out smallpox blankets so people don't freeze The old dogs have got a new trick It's called criminalize the symptoms While you spread the disease And i hold on hard to something Between my teeth when i'm sleeping I wake up and my jaw aches And the earth is full of earthquakes My country 'tis of thee To take shots at each other on prime time tv Why don't you just go ahead and turn off the sun Cuz we'll never live long enough To undo everything they've done to you Undo everything they've done to you They caught the last poor man Flying away in a shiny red cape They took him down to the station And they said, boy, you should've known better Than to try to escape I ran away with the circus Cuz there's still some honest work left for bearded ladies But it's not the same going town to town Since they put everyone in jail Exceot the cleavers and the brady's My country 'tis of thee To take swings at each other on the talkshow tv Why don't you just go ahead and turn off the sun Cuz we'll never live long enough To undo everything they've done to you Undo everything they've done to you more free lyrics

'tis of thee

They caught the last poor man
On a poor man's vacation
They cuffed him and confiscated his stuff
They dragged his black ass down to the station
And said, ok, the streets are safe now
All your pretty white children can come out and see spot run
And they came out of their houses
And they looked around
But they didn't see no one

My country 'tis of thee
To take swings at each other on the talkshow tv
Why don't you just go ahead and turn off the sun
Cuz we'll never live long enough
To undo everything they've done to you
Undo everything they've done to you

Above 96th street
They're handing out smallpox blankets so people don't freeze
The old dogs have got a new trick
It's called criminalize the symptoms
While you spread the disease
And i hold on hard to something
Between my teeth when i'm sleeping
I wake up and my jaw aches
And the earth is full of earthquakes

My country 'tis of thee
To take shots at each other on prime time tv
Why don't you just go ahead and turn off the sun
Cuz we'll never live long enough
To undo everything they've done to you
Undo everything they've done to you

They caught the last poor man
Flying away in a shiny red cape
They took him down to the station
And they said, boy, you should've known better
Than to try to escape
I ran away with the circus
Cuz there's still some honest work left for bearded ladies
But it's not the same going town to town
Since they put everyone in jail
Exceot the cleavers and the brady's

My country 'tis of thee
To take swings at each other on the talkshow tv
Why don't you just go ahead and turn off the sun
Cuz we'll never live long enough
To undo everything they've done to you
Undo everything they've done to you

Globalized Sounds

Today, beautiful European and American music, an Afrobeats recorded in Lagos, can play in headphones in Tokyo; a South Korean idol group can fill an Argentine stadium to capacity. On Spotify, the playback volume of African music has increased by 500% in five years; K-pop has already transcended the Asian border and become a common language for young people all over the world; Latin music has consistently topped the streaming charts for several consecutive years. The world is getting smaller while the scope of music is expanding.

The Power of the Scene

When the lights dim and the first note is played, strangers become synchronized. The tremor when thousands sing together, and the melody that still echoes after the crowd disperses - this is an experience that no screen can convey. We look forward to the return of large-scale concerts to the essence of music, and we also look forward to small livehouses continuing to nourish the most vibrant soil of music.

Crossing Borders

Music transcends languages - even if you don't understand the lyrics, you can still shed tears or dance. It transcends cultures - the drumbeats of Nigeria and the chants of Iceland coexist under the same sky. It transcends generations - a song from half a century ago can still bring tears to the eyes of today's young people.

We Create Together

The future of global music is not determined by algorithms, nor is it monopolized by a few giants. It is shaped by every person who presses the play button. Maintain your curiosity, step out of your comfort zone. Support independent musicians and attend live performances. Seek connections through music - because we believe that a song can change a day, and music can change the world.
