Do you ever just wanna give up
Well, me too
Are you shocked by what people get
Get used to
Do you wake up in a cold sweat?
Well, that's sane
Least you got a little brain left
You've got a little brain
'Cause this fox is in the hen house
And bad news every day
[?] Pennsylvania Avenue
The sheetless KKK
And there's models wielding microphones
Chasing maniacs around
And everything's on fire
And there's twisters touching down
And I know you got to fight your adrenaline
Just to be a gentleman
And I know I got to fight my amygdala
Just to keep hearing ya
But we can do this if we try
Yeah, if we do this like it's do or die
And we can do this if we try
If we do this like it's do or die
So that's all
Let us regroup
Let us recover
Let us regroup
Let us remember
That we are [?]
[?] slow down [?]
And [?]
Yankee Doodle Dandy didn't feel free once
So used his pen to pick the locks
And Yankee Doodle Dandy did some doozy kind of [?]
With fashion [?]
And if you think your vote doesn't matter
Then you're not paying attention
Yeah, everything they do they do to
Keep you from their invention
Yeah, so if you think your vote doesn't matter
Then you're not paying attention
Yeah, everything they do they do to
Keep you from their invention
But we can do this if we try
Yeah, if we do this like it's do or die

Who else but Ani can make amygdala work in a song and be right on the mark? I'm a little late to the Ani party but I am so all in!
Everything's changed, and Ani's singing about it here. Very, very refreshing to hear these lyrics in 2020. A great antidote to the disingenuous inanity of "Imagine", played a few tracks back. Social commentary in the tradition of Marvin Gaye, Bob Dylan in his political moments, Bruce Cockburn almost all the time, and and so many others -- of the personal as political.
New Ani! Always welcome.
yes!! I was wondering when she'd pop back into my life again
That's some tasty Wurlitzer.
Is it me? Or does it have a Prince-ish sound?
Has a D'Angelo vibe!
Crap.
BOah! Wow! that was stopping me in my tracks....
GREAT (selction) - THX bill

Love hearing new Ani.
Shocked to hear her being so political...

I'm seeing some lyrics that look like they're for this song under the title "Amygdala"
Because there’s foxes in the hen house
And bad news every day
Right there on Pennsylvania avenue
the sheet-less KKK

Giving this a 7 on first haring.

Thanks Radio Paradise for finding the best of the newest as well as the classics. Will this wind up on Rolling Stone's list ? Time will tell...
