Ani DiFranco - Alla This

live at Babeville 2007
Alla This
i will not stand immersed
in this ultra violent curse
i won't let you make a tool of me
i will keep my mind and body free
bye bye minutiae
of the day to day drama
i'm expanding exponentially,
i am consciousness without identity
i am many things
made of everything
but i will not be your bank roll
i won't idle in your drive-thru
i won't watch your electric sideshow
i got way better places to go
i will maintain the truth
i knew naturally as a child
i won't forfeit my creativity
to a world that's all laid out for me
i'll look at everything around me
and i will vow to bear in mind
that all of this was just someone's idea
it could just as well be mine
i won't rent you my time
i won't sell you my brain
i won't pray to a male god
cuz that would be insane
and i can't support the troops
cuz every last one of them's being duped
and i will not rest a wink
until the women have regrouped
i am many things
made of everything
but i will not be your bank roll
i won't idle in your drive-thru
i won't watch your electric sideshow
i got way better places to go

My favorite part of this song on the album is stunted. The bad ass drums!!!

[@PointToIris]

Loveee.

And the Bass. That's (was) pretty awesome too.
Why can't I find a live version with drum and bass???

Live show on CD Hamburg 18-10-2007. Probably the best show featuring Alison and Todd on Drum and Bass. This song is savage.
