From her second album "Not So Soft"

lyrics

she says my ass hurts

when i sit down

she says my feet hurt

when i'm standing around

i think my body

is as restless as my mind

and i don't know if i can

roll with it this time

she packed his uniforms

and drove him to the base

she was crying all the way,

the world looked her in the face

and said, roll with it baby

make it your career

keep the home fires burning

till america is in the clear

the mainstream

is so polluted with lies

once you are wet

it's so hard to get dry

we are all taught how to justify

history as it passes by

and yes, it's your world

that comes crashing down

when the big boys

want to throw their weight around

but just roll with it baby

make it your career

keep the home fires burning

till america is in the clear

what if the enemy

isn't in a distant land

what if it lies behind

the voice of command

the sound of war

is a child's cry

behind tinted windows

they just drive by

all i know is that those

that are going to be killed

aren't those that preside

on capitol hill

i told him, don't fill

the front lines of their war

those assholes aren't worth dying for

but he said

roll with it baby

make it your career

keep the home fires burning

till america is in the clear

she says my ass hurts

when i sit down

she says my feet hurt

when i'm standing around

i think my body

is as restless as my mind

and i'm not gonna roll with it this time

This is the version from her second album, Not So Soft. "Like I Said" was her third release, it's a collection of selected songs from her first two albums, re-recorded (including this one). Most of the LIS versions are fuller and more upbeat, and almost none of them are on YouTube, inexplicably.

I could be wrong, but the version i thought was on the album had the "toy soldiers" with the trumpet and full rhythm section, not this low key version... ok.. here I have the cd case: "like I said" is the album name "(songs 1990-1991)" Her pic is her in a larm empty brick room and she is bald at the time... Just sayin I wish I had this version online so i could copy/paste to interested parties...

Where is the album version? I can't find it any more on the you tube and this version is too "hippie" when i'm trying to reach out over gaps to others who would otherwise get turned off by hippie styles.......
