"The Message" lyrics

Stone Gossard & Ani DiFranco Lyrics

"The Message"

You were made of restless flesh
Muscle and sinew
You weren't lookin' to settle down
No, it wasn't in you
Saw her work way too hard
To try to win you
She had to put that down down down down down

'Cause your mother was being chased by tigers
The whole time that you were inside her
And you've been runnin' to this day
You've got two forces at play
But it's getting harder and harder to get away

It's getting harder...

Yes, things have changed
Things have changed
We have changed
Haven't we?

I feel your pain
I feel your pain
I feel your pain
Trust me

Yes, things have changed
Things have changed
We have changed
Haven't we?

I feel your pain
I feel your pain
I feel your pain
Trust me

Cuz you were made of restless flesh
Muscle and sinew
You weren't lookin' to settle down
No, it wasn't in you
I once worked way too hard
To try to win you
I had to put that down down down down down

Cuz you know I loved you then
And I saw right through you
And though I never made you mine
You know I knew you
And you've been runnin' to this day
You've got two forces at play
But it's getting harder and harder to get away

It's getting harder...

Yes, things have changed
Things have changed
We have changed
Haven't we?

I feel your pain
I feel your pain
I feel your pain
Trust me

Yes, things have changed
Things have changed
We have changed
Haven't we?

I feel your pain
I feel your pain
I feel your pain
Trust me
