Ani DiFranco › Lyrics › Shrug

What's with that halo hovering
Above that thick skull, spare me
If I do say, so I think you're covering
'Course there was nothing could've prepared me

For the side effect of this dirty drug
The way you punish me and then you shrug

What's with that phone call, baby?
It's like you're trying, just trying to crush me
Do you feel stronger each time you push me, dear?
Did you tell your mom your carpet bombed before you left here

And is it just the side effect of this dirty drug
Or does each apology sound more like a shrug?

Are you at home now with your kitty cats?
Are you just at home now with the way that you act?
Do you split the rent there with all your secrets
Or do you just pretend to all your friends they're uninvited guests?

Yes and when you want it tidy tell me
Can you still dispel me, sweep me neatly under the rug?
And then does your conscience ever mention
The way that you treat me or do you just fend it off with a
