Buildings and Bridges - Ani DiFranco

Buildings and bridges

are made to bend in the wind

to withstand the world,

that’s what it takes

All that steel and stone

is no match for the air, my friend

what doesn’t bend breaks

what doesn’t bend breaks

we are made to bleed

and scab and heal and bleed again

and turn every scar into a joke

we are made to fight

and fuck and talk and fight again

and sit around and laugh until we choke

sit around and laugh until we choke

I don’t know who you were expecting

probably some bitch who does not budge

with eyes the size of snow

I may get pissed off sometimes

but you seem like the type to hold a grudge

and in the end, I just let go…
