Cover art for 'Tis of Thee lyrics by Ani DiFranco

I don't think it can be broken down to such liberal vs. cconservative lines. This could be at America in general....and the lines:

"why don't you just go ahead and turn off the sun 'cause we'll never live long enough to undo everything they've done to you"

I think speak the most powerfully. I see that as going out to anybody who has been done wrong by. That if you hold onto that hate, negativaty, and such then you'll never be satisfied. Kind of like, "an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind" mentality.

I think this song is quite layered so as to speak to both the one doing wrong and the wronged.
