Music

Singers:

Ani DiFranco
The animal I am knows very well
That nature is our teacher and our mother
And God is just another story that we tell.

Joni Mitchell
Love is touching souls
Surely you touched mine
'Cause part of you pours out of me
In these lines from time to time.

Dar Williams
And where does magic come from?
I think magic's in the learning
'Cause now when Christians sit with Pagans
Only pumpkin pies are burning.

Jenny Lewis with the Watson Twins
In the desert underneath the charging sky
It's just you and God
But what if God's not there?
But his name is on your dollar bill
Which just became cab fare.

Michelle Branch
So I'm a little left of center
I'm a little of tune
Some say I'm paranormal
So I just bend their spoon.

Ella Fitzgerald
The day is my enemy
The night my friend
For I'm always so alone
Till the day draws to an end.

Meaghan Owens
And Anna Mae is gonna lay face down to the ground till you realize
There's a boy in Wyoming tied to a fence, he's gonna lie like a crucifix
Until the recipe is opened, the code is cracked, and the doors are broken
And the files of the FBI are hung out to dry
With the Sunday wash on the newspaper line.

Bands:

Sleater-Kinney
Take me to the source of chaos
Let me be the butterfly
Imperfect symmetry has
Underlying poetry and rhyme.

Rilo Kiley
We can see the stars
From where the birds make their homes
Staring back at us
Indifferent
But distanced perfectly
Projected endlessly
It's so fucking beautiful

Nirvana
Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
Distill the life that's inside of me
Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
I'm anemic royalty.

Rasputina
Very many years ago
the Bolivians were starving so
They had rats as big as ponies there
They asked the Pope to declare them fish.

Sublime
Hard work good and hard work fine
But first take care of head.

Team Dresch
Queer sex is great
It's fun as shit
Don't kill yourself cuz people
Can't deal with your brilliance.

NOFX
You're wrong if you support capital punishment
And you're wrong if you don't question your government
If you think her reproductive rights are inconsequent
You're wrong.

Rage Against the Machine
There is no other pill to take
So swallow the one
That made you ill.

System of a Down
Four thousand hungry children leave us per hour from starvation
While billions are spent on bombs creating death showers.

Coldplay
Bones are sinking like stones
All that we fall for
Homes places we've grown
All of us are done for
And we live in a beautiful world
We live in a beautiful world.

Bikini Kill
Just cuz my world, sweet sister
Is so fucking god-damn full of rape
Does that mean my body must always be
A source of pain?

Other:

Danny Elfman
Tender lumplings everywhere
Life's no fun without a good scare.

Bach
