Альбом Le Tigre

Play it so safe to stay on top. Shake it, imitate it, but it still sounds old.
We just can't understand why the man calls it lo-fi.
So get your bags packed now and I'll meet you on the outside.
"X"-out all self-supervision...get your keys out, now start the ignition.
We're on the verge of...All right!
When you're shipwrecked on your mattress I'll come in and show you how to hijack the past and
wind up in the right now.
Grag some clothes, three chords and a video camera.
Maybe a mic, some handwipes, a typewriter, and a hammer.
Why don't you come over now?
I'll buzz you up.
'Cause you know when you're around I can't get enough.
I'm gonna follow you, wait, straight into the late night.
'Cause you're so on fire and you already know.
A-O-A-O do it so right
A-O-A-O do it tonight

Pipe down baby, why so fake loud?
You've lied now ten thousand times...it's show business anyhow.
You make me sick, sick, sick, sick.
Where'd you get all the attention?
Your dad's money too base to mention?
His coattails are looking word. You've had a nice ride, that's for sure.
Better thank your brain-dead clientele for all the money that you'll spend in hell.
Wanma percent of every nation, your'e the type to rise to that occasion.
Stole the race, no surprise there. The elevator always beats the stairs.
On a golf cart...wearing some uniform...bombing in the night-time...lying on tv...you make me
sick

We learned this lesson five times fine: fake left, go right, back-stabs read minds!
Taillights shine beautiful, they make halos on the road.
Don't give our keys to the city to shark-suits, b-sides, free-things-please!
I left the code at the coat-check pointed to the word on my neck.
That's me, all night on stand-by.
Three words, three things...oh please please!
Don't, don't drink poison!
Wolf Girl, poolside, I'm in the lobby.
Gay concierge-spy high fives me.
It's all cool enemy style, smile at the tv while you download her file.
Watch for the quick slip, money shot, vid clip.
Walk past slowly, pass me the nurse kit.
Don't be fooled by the sister vocab...keep it light, put it on her tab.
Heads up for this tonight...it's some you'll recognize.
Looks like lips and feels like teeth, always waving to the people from the magazine.
There's one thing they love to see...it's tear jearks for charity and blank smirks all the way
to the airport.
There's one drink, on ice, oh I think it's ...
They say trouble comes in threes, I say Chicken Ceasar grows on trees.
It could be lucky to be out of luck.
I mean, better than to take the test where amnesiacs must write on napkins.
Prepare for what might happen.
In a trance from polished talk we think...coat throat, lemon lime, hot choc, oh! ...
Fem Exec is right behind me.
Almost there, through the glass doors, against the wall, on the third floor.
We found a robot hand hidden in a potted plant.
And we're not too nice to notice when white wine stinks and we're misquoted.

I got your name and number, you seem kinda surprised.
Maybe it's 'cause I can be, you know, like cold as ice.
In crowded situations I always want to go.
And if I see you leaving, I beat you to the door.
I'm gonna tell you something, you're better than fake-wild.
I see the future.
In it, they try to kill your style, your manner, and your motives.
I've seen the way it goes.
So memorize my number, that's why I got a phone.
Call me after dark.
I can make the sun rise daily right up from your landscape painting.
I will be in the front row later when your brush becomes a mic.
Maybe we could change this game forever.
Shapes our breath makes in cold weather.
They might say we're both crazy...I'm just glad I found you, baby.
I don't want someone telling me no-oh-oh, "you're out of time"
I don't mind being debated as long as you're with me tonight.
I'm not gonna give up easy, we were made to cross the line.
I don't want the things that we do...I don't want to let them die.

Want more real attention. At my expense guess you forgot to mention. You talk good, I'll eat
glass. I heard you read my mind behind my back.
Outside, I’m waitin', by the car when you’re hesitatin'.

Take a good look.
Take a photo.
Write about it in your tiny notebook.

Don’t you know? You’re out cold.
Don’t you know? It’s our dance-floor!

I'll just tell you now
Cuz I don't think you know
The things you tried to kill
I found a way to grow

I'll just tell you now
You may have made your mark
But I'm still here today
Knowing who you are

I'll just tell you now
I'll just tell you now
(Don't want to disappoint you)
You're not the City of God
(Or be one to annoy)
You can't strike me down
(But it won't go away now)
From your mountain top
(And here's the reasons why)
I'll just tell you now
(You took my intuition)
You're not the City of God
(My knowledge of the truth)
You can't shoot me down
(The love I had in this world)
From your mountain top
(I gave it all to you)
I'll just tell you now
I wanna tell you now...

I'll just tell you now
Cuz I don't think you know
The things you tried to kill
I found a way to grow

I'll just tell you now
(You took my intuition)
You're not the City of God
(My knowledge of the truth)
You can't shoot me down
(The love I had in this world)
From your mountain top
(I gave it all to you)

I wanna tell you now...

Say this one packs a fight
Just crazy, out of my mind
Say sorry, yeah it's all right
Just give me back what you took that night
I wanna tell you now
I say it full out
I wanna get up in your face
And tear your thoughts right out
I wanna tell you, tell you now
I'm gunna tell you, tell you how
You didn't change my mind
You didn't do a thing
'Cept made me hate myself
And made me fear everything
You thought I'd run and hide
And keep it all inside
How can you see me
And think it's all right?

I wanna tell you now...

Peace Now, Peace Now, Peace Now, Peace Now!

We are gathered here, we come from so many different places.
From different identities, different cultures.
Different backgrounds different religions.
And yet we can gather, under the guides of peace....now...
Peace now!

"We say no to war!"
Peace up, war down!
"We say no to war!"
Peace up, war down!
"We say no to war!"
Peace up, war down!

"We made it. We're here. We're here right now and we're not leaving."

Now I feel you, I feel you people.
Now I feel you, I feel you people.
Now I feel you, I feel you people.
Now I feel you, I feel you people.
Now I feel you, I feel you....

"Now, we have reports that more and more people are just taking on ramps onto the bridge and are just taking it over.. it's just...just..."

"I mean, i'm just like..ahh!"

This is what democracy looks like!
This is what democracy sounds like!
This is what democracy looks like!
This is what democracy sounds like!

"Reports from protests from among Georgia... Amsterdam... and Bay Ruth Lebanon... East Seymour... Florence, Italy...London...Milano, Italy...Paris, France...
Dozens of cities in Spain... Reports in Athens, Georgia... Austin, Texas... Westford, Virginia... Charleston, South Carolina... Colorado Springs... and
Defiance, Ohio... Denver, Colorado as well as Durango... Geneva, New York and Houston, Texas... Cianis, Massachussetts...In Hawaii as well...
Lawrence, Kansas... Los Angeles, California... AND I AM ONLY NAMING A FEW!"

Peace...now! Peace...now!

And as Eleanor Roosevelt said...
"It isn't enough to talk about peace, one must believe in it. It isn't enough to believe in it, one must work at it"
And we here today... are working at it!

"Peace is possible, and even necessary. So drop the sword, pick up the hammer and the saw. And start building a better world!"

No blood for oil!
We will not be violent!
No blood for oil!
We will not be violent!
No blood for oil!

"We will not go to war, for a selected president, who wasn't even elected!"

We must stand unbroken, unbound and unashamed
We need healthcare!
We need education!
We need freedom in this nation!
Freedom in this nation!
Freedom in this nation!
Freedom in this nation!

"Thousands of people have taken over 3rd Avenue and are marching North. The crowd stretches at least 15 blocks from 44th street to 59th Street.
The police have just simply... given up."

This is what democracy looks like!
This is what democracy sounds like!
This is what democracy looks like!
This is what democracy sounds like!


peace now
peace now
(repeated behind next lines)
"We will not sell out!
We will not back down!
We will not compromise!
We will go forward,
Until peace is on the world's agenda!"

I started a theory that there were no more heroes in the World.
But Today, I see all the World's heroes standing before me.

"We say no to war!"
No war!
"We say no to war!"
No war!
"We say no to war!"
No war!

walk in
give him my name
looks up and down
takes a good look at my pecs
puts down the clipboard
opens the rope for my 'stache
walk in with my duffle hanging
hat is tilted, im inside
my eyes dream of bedroom suprise
they call it climbing, and i call it visibility
they call it coolness, and i call it visibility
they call it way too rowdy, and i call it finally free
theres a girl
her lips that have never seen
she comes up
dances on me
i look in her eyes
i say "hey, youre not a dyke..."
she says "i call it climbing, and you call it visibility
i call it coolness, and you call it visibility
i call it way too rowdy, and you call it finally free"
theres a slap on my back
i find another butch, hat cocked, and we
we put our hands in the crowd
and over and over
we jump up and down
they call it climbing, and we call it visibility
they call it coolness, and we call it visibility
they call it way too rowdy, and we call it finally free.

you must not love to hate
you must not take the bait
and learn to hit delete
you'd say the same thing to me
rent's high
and the war's on
and it's last call
even your friends lok worried
my friends think you're smart
we think you're super-fine

but it's high time
i mean it's high tide
aka a fine line, inside

stop smoking those cigarettes, baby
next time it's your turn to save me
splash some water on your little face cos
you're a mess, you're a mess, you're a mess!

you must not roll your eyes
you should not often lie
how could you ever say
that your friends won't be there
it's a long walk on a cold night
when you wanna fight
over some day-old drama
you used to make us laugh
we want the old you back

cos it's high time
i mean it's high tide
aka a fine line, inside

stop smoking those cigarettes, baby
next time it's your turn to save me
splash some water on your little face cos
you're a mess, you're a mess, you're a mess!

this island where we live without a/c
is the city where we learn about painting
it was the title of the mix-tape you gave me
not where we're from but the topic of daydreams
let's take a tour of the bathrooms you cried in
for break-ups, bad lucks, shock of the lost twins

the horizon's like a ship in flames tonight
you say you just don't know
if you can take this city
cos the rent's high
and the war's on
and it's last call
even your friends look worried
my friends all think you're smart
we think you're super-fine

but it's high time
i mean it's high tide
aka a fine line, inside

stop smoking those cigarettes, baby
next time it's your turn to save me
splash some water on your little face cos
you're a mess, you're a mess, you're a mess!

Backstage, everybody wants a piece of JD
Kathleen's on the phone and i got to go get paid
See, promoter's making small talk,
He says we knocked his socks off
Cinna-mint, Internet, Cinnamon and Butter-buns!
Who's got the keys?
Oh! Look, man, we just gotta get some sleep!
But he said "Do you guys need a place to stay?"
No, oh no. No thanks, just point us to the highway.
She said, she likes it better when were angry,
"Sing that song again that makes me think youre gonna spank me!"
Head on my jacket like a pillow in the van,
When i close my eyes im in a cross-town cab.

Hey, who wants to party?
Those girls outside just asked me
Check out's late and they seem cool,
so
OoooOOooohhhh....okay...okay,okay

Hey, we want a Universal healthcare deal
and we want Kissinger on trial for real.
We got a right wing king making third world war
Assholes, oil-guys!
How many shows till were back in New York?
Killer's got us packed up, coffee in a travel mug
Thinks she got the mix all right, says she wants to drive tonight.
The power amp, we call the "pamp"
The S-2000, we call it the "samp"
The MPC's do not come on tour,
They used to, though, back when we were hardcore.
Hey these girls say that this town sucks! ooooohooohhh...
They just wanna know if they can come with us

Hey, who wants to party?
Those girls outside just asked me
Check out's late and they seem cool,
So
