Ani DiFranco - Looking for the Holes video free download

From her second album "Not So Soft"

lyrics

i am looking for the holes

the holes in your jeans

because i want to know

are they worn out in the seat

or are they worn out in the knees

there are so many ways to wear

what we have before it's gone

to make use of what is there

i don't wear anything i can't

wipe my hands on

do your politics fit

between the headlines

are they written in newsprint

are they distant

mine are crossing an empty parking lot

they are a woman walking home

at night, alone

they are six strings that sing

and wood that hums against my hip bone

we can't afford to do anyone harm

because we owe them our lives

each breath is recycled

from someone else's lungs

our enemies are the very air in disguise

you can talk a great philosophy

but if you can't be kind

to people every day

then it doesn't mean that much to me

it's the little things you do

it's the little things you say

it's the love that you give along the way

when we patch things up

they say a job well done

but when we ask the question why

where did the rips come from

they say we are subversive

and extreme of course

we are just trying to track a problem

to it's source

we are looking for the holes

because we know we can't sit back

and let people come to harm

we owe them our lives

each breath is recycled

from someone else's lungs

our enemies are the very air

our enemies are the air
