Willing to Fight by Ani DiFranco

The windows of my soul
Made of one way glass
Don't bother looking into my eyes
Something you want to know
Just ask
I got a dead bolt stroll
Where I'm going is clear
I won't have time for you to wonder
I'll just tell you why I'm here

'Cause I know the biggest crime
Is just to throw up your hands
Say "This has nothing to do with me"
I just want to live as comfortably as I can
You got to look outside your eyes
You got to think outside your brain
You got to walk outside you life
To where the neighbourhood changes

Tell me who is your boogieman
That's who I will be
You don't have to like me for who I am
See what you're made of by
What you make of me
And I think it's absurd
That you think I am the derelict daughter
You know I fight fire with words
Words are hotter than flames
Words are wetter than water

And I got friends all over this country
Friends in other countries too
I got friends I haven't met yet
I got friends I never know
I got lovers whose eyes
I've only seen at a glance
I got strangers for great grandchildren
I got strangers for ancestor

That was a long time coming
I'll be long time gone
You've got your whole life to do something
And that's not very long
Why don't you give me a call?
When you decide you're willing to fight
For what you think is real
For what you think is right
