Ani DiFranco - Blood In The Boardroom video free download

lyrics:

sitting in the boardroom

the i'm so bored room

listening to the suits

talk about their world

they can make straight lines out of almost anything

except for the line of my upper lip when it curls

dressed in my best greasy skin and squinty eyes

i'm the only part of summer that made it inside

in the air-conditioned building decorated with a corporate flair

i wonder can these boys smell me bleeding thru my underwear

there's men wearing the blood of the woman they love

there's white wearing the blood of the brown

but every woman learns how to bleed from the moon

and we bleed to renew life every time it's cut down

i got my vertebrae all stacked up high as they can go

but i still feel myself sliding from the earth that i know

so i excuse myself and leave the room

saying my period came early but it's not a minute too soon

i go and find the only other woman on the floor

it's the secretary sitting at the desk by the door

i ask her if she's got a tampon i can use

she says oh honey what a hassle for you sure i do you know i do

i say it ain't no hassle no it ain't no mess

right now it's the only power that i possess

these businessmen got the money

they got the instruments of death

but i can make life i can make breath

sitting in the boardroom

the i'm so bored room

listening to the suits talk about their world

i didn't really have much to say the whole time i was there

so i just left a big brown blood stain on their white chair
