Woe Be Gone - Ani DiFranco

Woe be gone

The madness and the suffering of the human race

The history of the world is such a losing place

The alphabet took us on a wild goose chase

And still

Still there’s swiftly shifting sands

Beneath our feet

And an unexplored hemisphere

Lying underneath

Enter the goddesses

Fresh from their long sleep

We get so off track sometimes

We get so off track sometimes

I mean what the hell?

Raise your hand if you’re at peace right now

In fact just stand up and take a bow

Everywhere you look just see damaged goods

And still

Still there’s swiftly shifting sands

Beneath our feet

And an unexplored hemisphere

Lying underneath

Enter the goddesses

Fresh from their long sleep

We get so off track sometimes

We get so off track sometimes…

Woe be gone

Madness and suffering I am just like you

The bottoms of my crutches look like old worn shoes

Me and my addictions got a lot to lose

And still

Still there’s swiftly shifting sands

Beneath our feet

And an unexplored hemisphere

Lying underneath

Enter the goddesses

Fresh from their long sleep

We get so off track sometimes

We get so off track sometimes…

Woe be gone

The madness and the suffering of the human race

The history of the world is such a losing place

The alphabet took us on a wild goose chase
