Hide and Seek - Ani DiFranco.mp3
[00:13.50]Me and the othe...
[00:13.50]Me and the other kids from the neighborhood
[00:53.01]We played out on the street all summer long
[00:57.39]Rule was, we had to go home at night when the street lights came on.
[01:06.42]We were oblivious to the rest of the world
[01:10.38]And we'd hold up the cars in the street
[01:14.88]And we'd always play boys against girls, and both sides would cheat.
[01:31.50]Strange men would stop their cars at the curb
[01:35.94]And say, "hey, sweetheart, come here."
[01:40.26]I'd go up to the window and they'd have their **** out in their hand
[01:43.32]And a sick little sneer.
[01:48.06]I'd say, "here we go again.
[01:50.10]Yeah, ok, this time you win."
[01:56.73]And I'd feel dirty, I'd feel ashamed
[02:00.45]But I wouldn't let it stop my game.
[02:11.01]We would play hide and go seek
[02:14.67]And territory would be the whole block
[02:18.78]Sometimes the older boys, when they'd find you
[02:21.69]They wouldn't want to tag you, they'd just wanna "talk."
[02:27.30]They'd say "what would you do for a quarter?
[02:31.62]Come on, we don't have much time."
[02:33.48]Then I'd think for a minute and say,"ok, give me the quarter first..fine."
[02:44.76]This time you win
[02:45.75]Here we go again
[02:53.01]And I would feel dirty and I'd feel ashamed
[02:56.73]But I wouldn't let it stop my game.
[03:10.47]I remember my first trip alone on the greyhound bus
[03:14.85]A man put his hands on me as soon as night fell
[03:19.17]I remember when I was leaving, how excited I was
[03:23.22]I remember when I arrived, I didn't feel so well.
[03:27.45]I remember a teacher in school that got me so sick, so scared
[03:31.59]That I went into the bathroom and threw up in my hair
[03:35.25]And I could go on and on, it just gets worse
[03:39.18]And I should probably stop.
[03:40.56]Girl, next time he wants to know what your problem is
[03:47.43]Girl, next time he wants to know where the anger comes from
[04:01.92]Just tell him this time the problem's his
[04:05.70]Tell him the anger just comes
[04:14.55]It just comes.
