Artist：ani difranco Songs Title：every state line I got pulled over in west texas So they could look inside my car He said are you an american citizen I said Yes sir So far They made sure I wasnt smuggling Someone in from mexico Someone willing to settle for america Cause theres nowhere else to go And every state line Theres a new set of laws And every police man Comes equipped with extended claws Theres a thousand shades of white And a thousand shades of black But the same rule always applies Smile pretty, and watch your back I broke down in louisiana And I had to thumb a ride Got in the first car that pulled over You cant be picky in the middle of the night He said Baby, do you like to fool around Baby, do you like to be touched I said Maybe some other time Fuck you very much And every state line Theres a new set of laws And every police man Comes equipped with extended claws Theres a thousand shades of white And a thousand shades of black But the same rule always applies Smile pretty, and watch your back Im in the middle of alabama They stare at me where ever I go I dont think they like my haircut I dont think they like my clothes I cant wait to get back to new york city Where at least when I walk down the street Nobody ever hesitates To tell me exactly what they think of me And every state line Theres a new set of laws And every police man Comes equipped with extended claws Theres a thousand shades of white And a thousand shades of black But the same rule always applies Smile pretty, and watch your back A little town in pennsylvania There was snow on the ground A parked in an empty lot Where there was no one else around But I guess I was taking up too much space As I was trying to get some sleep Cause an officer came by anyway And told me I had to leave And every state line Theres a new set of laws And every police man Comes equipped with extended claws Theres a thousand shades of white And a thousand shades of black But the same rule always applies Smile pretty, and watch your back
