Roll With It Lyrics by 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
