Binary Lyrics

Where are my sisters?
Where are my brothers?
Where is my family
Who takes care of each other?

Where are my sisters?
Where are my brothers?
Where is my family
Who takes care of each other?

Where are my sisters?
Where are my brothers?
Where is my family
Who takes care of each other?

In the blue glow of gizmos
Lurk despots in diapers
And cyborgs with bullhorns
And crackpots and snipers
Like robots so cold
With such ease they dismiss you
Sooner fuck you then kiss you
Sooner kick you and tease you

They got networks like insects
With webs of deception
They'll trap you, will clone you
Like a department of correction
They come in all colors
With sexes increase
They got our kind of issues
They got our kind of meat

Little laboratory monkeys
Raised with no hugging
Just a wire cage mum
And lab coats muddy

I feel your anger
I feel your pain
I feel the aching hole in your soul that can't be named

Yes consciousness is binary
Consciousness is spinning
Consciousness is a circuit
When consciousness is winning

Consciousness is binary
Consciousness is spinning
Consciousness is a circuit
When consciousness is winning

You gotta complete the circuit
Alone there's just no knowing
Yeah energy is destructive unless it is flowing
In the connection lies the spark
In the connection lies the art
You gotta be up in someone's countenance
Conversing with their heart

You gotta complete the circuit
Not just with human beings
With the sky above you
With the earth beneath your feet
When you complete the circuit
With everything that lives
Borders get blurry
And the rest is adjectives

Borders get blurry
And the rest is adjectives
Borders get blurry
And the rest is adjectives
Borders get blurry
And the rest is adjectives
Borders get blurry
And the rest is adjectives
Borders get blurry
And the rest is adjectives

Consciousness is binary
Consciousness is spinning
Consciousness is binary
Consciousness is spinning
Consciousness is binary
Consciousness is

Where are my sisters?
Where are my brothers?
Where is my family
Who takes care of each other?

Where are my sisters?
Where are my brothers?
Where is my family
Who takes care of each other?

Where are my sisters?
Where are my brothers?
Where is my family
Who takes care of each other?

Where are my sisters?
Where are my brothers?
Where is my family
Who takes care of each other?

Where are my sisters?
Where are my brothers?
Where is my family
Who takes care of each other?

Where are my sisters?
Where are my brothers?
Where is my family
Who takes care of each other?

Ani DiFranco (born Angela Maria DiFranco; September 23, 1970) is an American singer, multi-instrumentalist, poet, songwriter, feminist icon and businesswoman from New York state.

Although much of DiFranco's material is autobiographical, it is often also strongly political. Many of her songs are concerned with contemporary social issues such as racism, sexism, sexual abuse, homophobia, reproductive rights, poverty, and war. DiFranco's guitar playing is often characterized by a signature staccato style, rapid finger picking and many alternate tunings. She delivers many of her lines in a speaking style notable for its rhythmic variation. Her lyrics, which often include alliteration, metaphor, word play and a more-or-less gentle irony, have also received praise for their sophistication. She has released 19 solo albums (not including collaborative albums or live albums), all of which were released on her own independent record label, Righteous Babe Records (which she formed in 1989 at the age of 19).

DiFranco has been a critical success for much of her career, though not a commercial one by major label standards, with a career album average of 72 on Metacritic. Living in Clip, DiFranco's 1998 double live album, is the only one to achieve gold record status to date. DiFranco has been praised by the Buffalo News as the "Buffalo's leading lady of rock music".
