The stars are getting in and out of automobiles And we keep wondering when we're gonna feel something real Keep waiting for a Santa that'll never come A real party not just people who're faking fun but everything gets erased before it's even said And all that glitters isn't gold when inside it's dead All that glitters is not gold (x4) I went to yr concert and I didn't feel anything I went to yr concert and I didn't hear anything I went to yr concert and I didn't feel anything I went to yr concert and I didn't see anything (oh baby) why won't you talk to me? (oh baby) you just want me empty! (oh baby) you don't say anything! (oh baby) why won't you answer me?

4 months + 8 days Been waiting here Transporter broken Horizon's clear (DAY ONE) No vegetation Blips on my screen Whatever was here Has been disappeared Now here's alright (x2) (DAY TWO) Wait tower Radar's going off I see a small creature Who can barely walk My data says "large" But what I see is small Text reads "Big Danger" But this just looks tired Now here's alright (x2) (DAY THREE) Come in tower All our data's wrong Research inconsistent We misread it all There was no monster And what's left is near dead Control killed a phantom From inside their heads Nowhere's alright (x4)
I'm in the sky when I'm on the floor The world's a mess and you're my only cure There's no time for me to act mature The only words I know are "more, more and more" No one to criticize me then No one to criticize No one to criticize me then No one to criticize There's no fear when I'm in my room It's so clear and I know just what I want to do All day bedroom dancing To you I wanna say You're my thing
Oh we could rock Or we could bomb Or we could try Like super hard Or we could come Or we could lose Or we could totally totally, totally freak you I wanna spread my dementia I wanna knock it off the line Give me attention every day and every night We could suck "They might improve" We get our grades from Professor You Or we could fly Demystified Or we could please you all night I wanna spread my dementia I wanna knock it off the line Give me attention Every day and every night Don't want no crusty bullshit No crap or attitude Just wanna get electric tonight you know with you you you you Or we could,or we could Or we could,or we could Fail. fail. Fail. So!?
Off the pillow and into the air I'm ready 'cause it's my day Situation: it's all possible Everything is going my way My, my metrocard (x3) Think I'll go a little but then I go far Oh fuck Giuliani He's such a fucking jerk Shut down all the stripbars Workfare does not work My, my metrocard... Next stop: Atlantic Avenue Next stop: Christopher Street Next stop: Transfer to the Next stop: A,C, or E My, my metrocard...
The phone keeps ringing and it just won't stop There's a paper napkin in my coffeepot People freaking out on me left and right My head feels heavy but my feet feel light The clock keeps ticking inside my head Bad news is all I ever get The check I've been waiting for is not on time Everyone around me wants to start another fight I'm gonna let it be alright (I wanna be there!) (I wanna take you there!) (I wanna be there!) (I wanna take you there!)

Resist, Shout it out. Resist, Resist, Shout it out... There's no one telling us where to stand or where to be, we're just this huge strong mass of feminist fury. Resist. Resist..... Feminist fury.

All the critics tend to blast you. Dumb ideas will outlast you. Money's gone you got no grants. I'll push your work with my bare hands. Because they will try to convince us that we have arrived, that we are already there, that it has happened. Because we need to live in the place where we are truly alive, present, safe, and accounted for. Because we refuse to allow our writing, songs, art, activism and political histories to be suppressed or stolen. Because we refuse to be embarassed about the mistakes and faults and choose to move forward wit a political agenda bent on freedom of all. I get it I get it I get it... Tres Bien... 'Cause today's the day

And lemme see your fuckin smile around the office. You "grrrls" look tired were you out late last night? I heard you were some kind of underground electro feminist performance artists. Is that right? Right..... In five years you won't remember getting fired or whatever and until then and forever I'm proud to be associated with you. I know 40 hours a week would suit you fine but your application's been denied, surprise! This is how it feels to be free. Turn around, turn around, turn around and take a look at the crowd and say: It's okay to hate your job after all it's fucking wrong. Turn around, turn around turn around and take a look at the crowd. You know, all my friends are fucking bitches best known for burning bridges. Do you need a character witness? I said I'm proud to be associated with you. When I look around, I see your face in the crowd. I see the girls are out, a lot of freaks in the house. Le Tigre family and friends, I hope this feeling never ends cuz you're beautiful and your boss is an asshole and I don't give a shit what that dick thinks.

And if you ever wanna adventure, if you ever want a fashion show, I'll walk on yr block. 'Cause my art is better than your art and you will be better off when I'm gone... And if you ever wanna try yr hand at forcing my suicide, come on fucker reach out for the sun! Yeah yeah yeah you got the lens that wants to go through me. You got the rebel style it don't fool me.

Peace Now... Peace Now... We are gathered here, we come from so many different places, from different identities, different cultures, different backgrounds, different religions, and yet we can gather under the guise of Peace Now We say no to war...Peace up, War down We say no to war...Peace up, War down We made it, we're here, we're here right now and we're not leaving. () We have more reports that more and more people are just taking onramps onto the bridge and are just taking it over it's just it's just I mean I just ahhhhhh This is what democracy looks like This is what democracy sounds like Reports from protests in Amman Jordan, and Amsterdman, Beirut Lebanon, Delhi, East Timor, Florence Italy, London, Milano Italy, Paris France, in dozens of cities in Spain. Reports in Athens GA and Austin TX, Blacksburg VA, Charleston SC, Colorado Springs and Defiance, Ohio. Denver, CO as well as Durango. Geneva NY and Houston TX, Hianis Massachusettes, in Hawaii as well, Lawrence, KS, Los Angeles, CA...and I am only naming a few. Peace Now! And as Eleanor Roosevelt said, It isn't enough to talk about peace, one must believe in it. It isn't enough to believe in it, one must work at it. And we here today are working at it. This is possible and even necessary. So drop the sword, and pick up the hammer and the saw, and let's build a better world. No blood for oil We will not be violent We will not go to war for a selected president that wasn't even elected. We must stand unbroken, unbound and unchained. We need health care, We need education We need freedom in this nation Freedom in this Nation Thousands of people have taken over third avenue and are marching north. The crowd stretches at least fifteen blocks from 44th street to 59th street. The police have just simply given up. This is what democracy looks like This is what democracy sounds like We will not sell out. We will not back down. We will not compromise. We will go forward until Peace is on the World Agenda. I started to feel that there are no more heroes in the world. But today I see all the world's heroes standing before me. We say no to war. No War!
