ani difranco lyrics

My goal in creating this page is to maintain a record of all known Ani DiFranco lyrics. Her words are very powerful and i want them to be accessible to those who find power in them. I know that they have helped many people find solid grounding in difficult times.

I do not intend to expand this site beyond the lyrics. The photos are to make this site a bit more aesthetically palatable but i do not intend to have a collection of photos, MP3s or other fan materials. I am unable to share MP3s either on this site or via email - i'm sorry. I strongly encourage you to support Ani by buying her albums.

disclaimer: Most of the lyrics on this site were, at one point, transcribed from a bootleg. There are definitely inaccuracies, mispellings and the like. While i don't really like that reality, it just isn't possible for me to check all of the lyrics against the released albums. But! if you send me corrections, i will update the site.

demo	the first album	not so soft
imperfectly	like i said	puddle dive
out of range	not a pretty girl	dilate
living in clip	little plastic castle	up x6
to the teeth	revelling	reckoning
so much shouting, so much laughter
evolve	educated guess	knuckle down
reprieve	red letter year	which side are you on?
allergic to water	binary	revolutionary love
unreleased
