Ani Difranco - Buildings And Bridges Lyrics






Buildings and bridges
are made to bend in the wind
to withstand the world,
that's what it takes
All that steel and stone
is no match for the air, my friend
what doesn't bend breaks
what doesn't bend breaks

we are made to bleed
and scab and heal and bleed again
and turn every scar into a joke
we are made to fight
and fuck and talk and fight again
and sit around and laugh until we choke
sit around and laugh until we choke

I don't know who you were expecting
probably some bitch who does not budge
with eyes the size of snow
I may get pissed off sometimes
but you seem like the type to hold a grudge
and in the end, I just let go...

Buildings and bridges
are made to bend in the wind
to withstand the world,
that's what it takes
All that steel and stone
is no match for the air, my friend
what doesn't bend breaks
what doesn't bend breaks

  1. C.... P....

    I was only about 12 when I first heard this song had my mom go take me to get the whole album saw here in santa cruz ca when I was about 20 would love to see her again ❤

  2. A.... S....

    This song is so beautiful and raw. As the chemicals begin leaving my system and the feelings begin returning, all I can do is cry.. Remember the times past when life was different, when I often laughed out loud and had friends. This song gives me hope that maybe that person is still in me, that maybe I can get through this this time. At least I will keep trying.

    A.... S....

    Alicia Smith awww ... sounds like you’ve had some trying times, like myself...
    Just hang in there.. & take it one day at a time. I had an addiction to pain pills & adderall for a long time..almost 10 years.
    Now I’m off them completely. I take an herb called kratom, for my chronic pain now (have 3 herniated and slipped discs & 2 annular cracks in my spine), & I don’t feel the need for even alcohol, anymore.
    This herb saved my life. & has helped with my anxiety & depression. This, along with walking, therapy, & a positive outlook, go a long way.
    I still struggle, at times. But I’ve been clean (only on herbs) for almost 10 years now.
    Don’t give up the fight.
    Stay strong. & screw the unnatural chemicals.. 😉
    You can do it. That person is in there, I promise.

    Will always remind me of a beautifully young time for me in 1997.

    mine was 10 years later. Timeless is the tie with the music that lived with us.
