The Indigo Girls › Lyrics › Go

Through the dust bowl through the debt
Grandma was a suffragette
Blacklisted for her publication
Blacklisted for my generation
Go, go, go

Raise your hands, raise your hands high
Don't take a seat, don't stand aside
This time don't assume anything
Just go, go, go

Feed the fire and fan the flame
I know you kids can stand the rain
I know the kids are still up setters
'Cause rock is cool but the struggle is better
Go, go, go

Raise your hands, raise your hands high
Don't take a seat, don't stand aside
This time don't assume anything
I said this time I don't assume anything
Just go

The truth is, I was afraid, I felt inferior
I felt I excelled in competing with others
And I knew instantly that these people
Were not competing at all, that they were acting in a
Strange, powerful trance of movement together
And I was filled with longing to act
With them and with the fear that I could not

Did they tell you it was set in stone that you'd end up alone?
Use your years to psych you out
You're too old to care, they're too young to count

Did they tell you you would come undone
When you tried to touch the sun? Undermine the underground
You're too old to care, they're too young to count
I said go, go, go

I said this time I don't assume anything
Just go, go, go, just just go, just just go
