Maybe Not Lyrics

Lyric discussion by A.I. 

Cover art for Maybe Not lyrics by Cat Power

There is "realism" in "idealism."

In the same vein of other postmodern peace songs, this song speaks of the end of war, in our world, within our selves. Cat Power challenges the notion that freedom comes aesthetics and words; instead, she concludes it comes "your mind", while placing emphasis on activism ("doing just one more thing").
