Buildings & Bridges Lyrics by Ani Difranco
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
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
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
