Willing To Fight Lyrics - Puddle Dive - Ani Difranco

The windows of my soul 

Are made of one way glass 

Don't bother looking into my eyes 

If there's something you want to know, 

Just ask 

I got a dead bolt stroll 

Where I'm going is clear 

I won't wait for you to wonder 

I'll just tell you why I'm here 

'Cause I know the biggest crime 

Is just to throw up your hands 

Say 

This has nothing to do with me 

I just want to live as comfortably as I can 

You got to look outside your eyes 

You got to think outside your brain 

You got to walk outside you life 

To where the neighborhood changes 

Tell me who is your boogieman 

That's who I will be 

You don't have to like me for who I am 

But we'll see what you're made of 

By what you make of me 

I think that it's absurd 

That you think I 

Am the derelict daughter 

I fight fire with words 

Words are hotter than flames 

Words are wetter than water 

I got friends all over this country 

I got friends in other countries too 

I got friends I haven't met yet 

I got friends I never knew 

I got lovers whose eyes 

I've only seen at a glance 

I got strangers for great grandchildren 

I got strangers for ancestors 

I was a long time coming 

I'll be a long time gone 

You've got your whole life to do something 

And that's not very long 

So why don't you give me a call 

When you're willing to fight 

For what you think is real 

For what you think is right
