Don't ask me why I'm crying
I'm not going to tell you what's wrong
I'm just gonna sit on your lap
For five dollars a song
I want you to pay me for my beauty
I think it's only right
'Cause I have been paying for it
All of my life
I'm gonna take the money I make
I'm gonna take the money I make
I'm gonna take the money I make
And I'm gonna go away...
We barely have time to react in this world
Let alone rehearse
And I don't think I'm better than you
But I don't think that I'm worse
Women learn to be women
And men learn to be men
And I don't blame it all on you
But I don't want to be your friend
I'm gonna take the money I make
I'm gonna take the money I make
I'm gonna take the money I make
And I'm gonna go away...
I was eleven years old
He was as old as my dad
And he took something from me
I didn't even know that I had
So don't tell me about decency
Don't tell me about pride
Just give me something for my trouble
'Cause this time, it's not a free ride
I'm gonna take the money I make
I'm gonna take the money I make
I'm gonna take the money I make
And I'm gonna go away...
Don't ask me why I'm crying
I'm not going to tell you what's wrong
I'm just gonna sit on your lap
For five dollars a songs
I want you to pay me for my beauty
I think it's only right
'Cause I have been paying for it
All of my life
Now I just wanna take
And I'm just gonna take
I'm gonna take
And I'm gonna go away

Ani DiFranco (nata Angela Marie Di Franco) è una cantautrice, musicista e attivista americana di origini italo-americane. Considerata un'icona del folk alternativo e della musica indipendente, DiFranco si distingue per la sua voce potente, le sue liriche introspettive e il suo stile musicale eclettico che fonde elementi di folk, rock, hip hop e jazz. Iniziò a suonare in locali underground all'età di 16 anni, pubblicando il suo primo album indipendente nel 1990. DiFranco ha sempre mantenuto un forte controllo creativo sul suo lavoro, fondando la sua etichetta discografica, Righteous Babe Records, nel 1990. La sua musica affronta temi sociali come il femminismo, la giustizia sociale e l'ambiente, guadagnandosi il rispetto di una vasta fanbase che apprezza la sua autenticità e la sua capacità di parlare a un pubblico ampio con sincerità e coraggio.
