Ani Difranco - Woe Be Gone Lyrics






Woe be gone
The madness and the suffering of the human race
The history of the world is such a losing place
The alphabet took us on a wild goose chase

And still

Still there’s swiftly shifting sands
Beneath our feet
And an unexplored hemisphere
Lying underneath
Enter the goddesses
Fresh from their long sleep

We get so off track sometimes
We get so off track sometimes

I mean what the hell?
Raise your hand if you’re at peace right now
In fact just stand up and take a bow
Everywhere you look just see damaged goods

And still

Still there’s swiftly shifting sands
Beneath our feet
And an unexplored hemisphere
Lying underneath
Enter the goddesses
Fresh from their long sleep

We get so off track sometimes
We get so off track sometimes…

Woe be gone
Madness and suffering I am just like you
The bottoms of my crutches look like old worn shoes
Me and my addictions got a lot to lose

And still

Still there’s swiftly shifting sands
Beneath our feet
And an unexplored hemisphere
Lying underneath
Enter the goddesses
Fresh from their long sleep

We get so off track sometimes
We get so off track sometimes…

Woe be gone
The madness and the suffering of the human race
The history of the world is such a losing place
The alphabet took us on a wild goose chase

    This song is amazing. Good album, but nothing matches this just crazy good song. That melancholy undertone contrasting the powerful rhythm is so perfect.

    Hell yeah!! Love this! I am all over this new album in Nov! This song kicks ass. Can't wait to hear the rest of the album.

    J.... S....

    Wow @Jen Smith I would of never known you were a fan of hers. Your just full of surprises😊!!!

    J.... S....

    @Nate Brenneman haha she's one of my top 3 all time favs! She's one of the only ones I can listen to over and over no matter which cd, which ever genre she's playing with. I adore her. I've seen her twice in concert. I'm even wearing and old concert tee right now, reveling and reckoning. I love Ani!

    J.... S....

    @Jen Smith Right on. I dig all her music as well. I don't personally own any of her albums but I'd like some on vinyl. I've always had girls that were friends really into her and listened to her stuff that way. She's done quite a few shows here in Knoxville. Really cool smaller venues so kind of a more intimate environment instead of some arena. Really respect musicians that do that and meet with fans afterwards.
