Ani DiFranco
When I need to wipe my face, I use the back of my hand, And I like to take up space just because I can, And I use my dress to wipe up my drink. I care less and less what people think.
Ani DiFranco
Why do our kids have to show us what gun control is all about?
Ani DiFranco
I don't like my language watered down, I don't like my edges rounded off.
Ani DiFranco
I walk like I'm on a mission 'cause that's the way I groove. I got more and more to do and less and less to prove.
Ani DiFranco
There's this brutal imperial power, that my passport says I represent. But it will never represent where my heart lives, only vaguely where it went.
Ani DiFranco
I'm the color me happy girl, Miss live and let live. And when they're out for blood, I always give.
