The Choice Is Up To You
Today's Ani Difranco lyrics are inspired in part by tonight's discussion on DLC:
....from Napolean (Dilate).
they told you your music could reach millions
the choice was up to you
you told me they always pay for lunch
and they believe in what i do
and i wonder if you'll miss your old friends
once you've proven what you're worth
and i wonder when you're a big star
will you miss the earth
and i know you always, always want more
i know you, you'll never be done
because everyone is a fucking napoleon
everyone is a fucking napoleon
and the next time that i saw you
you were larger than life
yeah you came and you conquered
you were doing all right
you had an army of suits behind you
and all you had to be was willing
and i said i still make a pretty good living
you must make a killing, a killing
and i hope that, that you are happy
i hope that at least you are having fun
oh but everyone is a fucking napoleon
well everyone is a fucking napoleon
you say that, so that's the way it's gonna be
so that's what this is all about
i think that that's the way it always was
you chose not to notice until now
oh now that, now that there's a problem
you call me up to confide
and you go on for over an hour
about each one that took you for a ride
and i guess that you dialed my number
because you thought for sure that i'd agree
i said baby, you know i still love you
but how dare you complain to me
