Out Of Range Lyrics - Out Of Range - Ani Difranco

Just the thought 

Of our bed 

Makes me crumble like the plaster 

Where you punched the wall beside my head 

And I try 

To draw the line 

But it ends up running down the middle of me 

Most of the time 

Boys get locked up in some prison 

Girls get locked up in some house 

And it don't matter if it's a warden 

Or a lover 

Or a spouse 

You just can't talk to 'em 

You just can't reason 

You just can't leave 

And you just can't please 'em 

I was locked 

Into being my mother's daughter 

I was just eating bread and water 

Thinking 

Nothing ever changes 

And I was shocked 

To see the mistakes of each generation 

Will just fade like a radio station 

If you drive out of range 

If you're not angry 

You're just stupid 

Or you don't care 

How else can you react 

When you know 

Something's so unfair 

The men of the hour 

Can kill half the world in war 

Make them slaves to a super power 

And let them die poor 

I was locked 

Into being my mother's daughter 

I was just eating bread and water 

Thinking 

Nothing ever changes 

And I was shocked 

To see the mistakes of each generation 

Will just fade like a radio station 

If you drive out of range 

Just the thought 

Of our bed 

Makes me crumble like the plaster 

Where you punched the wall beside my head 

And I try 

To draw the line 

But it ends up running down the middle of me 

Most of the time 

Baby I love you 

That's why I'm leaving 

There's no talking to you 

And there's no pleasing you 

And I care enough 

That I'm mad 

That half the world don't even know 

What they could have had 

I was locked 

Into being my mother's daughter 

I was just eating bread and water 

Thinking 

Nothing ever changes 

And I was shocked 

To see the mistakes of each generation 

Will just fade like a radio station 

If you drive out of range
