Cover art for Aids lyrics by Ani DiFranco

this is such a sad song. just sit there right now and read the lyrics. if it doesnt shock you... stay there and read it again. "she is looking for the kisses that she never got at home/her lips are puckered and she is walking alone/and if she ends up with some dirty hot disease/its a small price she pays for the need to be pleased" my god. AIDS is no walk in the park, everyone should know that. it's amazing that Ani is saying that this girl would rather have 15mins of being "pleased" being with someone, making love risking the rest of her life cause its just a small price to pay, and that time was worth it all? no way. "walk to the corner and run from what you find" run away from what is right in front of you, because you dont want to have to deal with it. everyone has dont it. different situations but too many times people turn a blind eye to things around them "we have to abort our cannibalistic state of mind." why are we eating people alive? thats what cannibals do, so many people tear each other apart not only by their actions... but also by the things that were never done and/or never said. "and every time she left she never turned to say goodbye" no one cared. this song REALLY bothers me. it's a good view on how the majority of the world is. yes, there are those who have good souls, but just think of the millions who are just terrible. yuck. i'm sorry if this doesnt make much sense, it's just me ranting.
