ANI DIFRANCO lyrics : "1,000,000"

the air comes off the ocean
the city smells fishy
the air is full of fish and mystery

whispering who, what, when
I am warning you I am weightless
and the wind is always shifting

so don't hang anything on me
if you ever want to see it again
I am telling you I'm different than you

think I am

and you can dangle your carrot

but I ain't gunna reach for it
cuz I need both my hands
to play my guitar

and life is a sleezy stranger
who looks vaguely familiar
flirting with a bimbo named disaster

at the end of the bar
and I am telling you that I am different
than you are


at night when you're asleep
self-hatred's going to creep in

and try to blame it on the devil
the one who's bed you sleep in
and don't tell me what they did to you

as though you had no choice
tell me, isn't that your picture?
isn't that your voice?

if you don't live what you sing about
your mirror is going to find out
oh yeah


I'd like to go to all the pretty parties
where all the pretty people go

and I ain't really all that pretty
but nobody will know
cuz everybody loves you

when you're a star
and nobody questions
what it takes to go that far

and life is a sleezy stranger
and this is his favorite bar


no I don't prefer obscurity
but I'm an idealistic girl
and I wouldn't work for you

no matter what you paid
and I may not be able
to change the whole $#&@ing world

but I could be the million
that you never made
oh yeah


I could be the million that you never made
I could be the million that you'll never make

You're looking at the million that you'll never make
