Artist: Liz Phair Album: Whip-Smart (1994) Title: Support System
Lyrics Support SystemI don't need a support system Lifting me into prop-position What I need is a man of action, I need my attraction to you Driving me down all those dangerous avenues Lions and tigers tearing at their food.
(whistle break) I know the gossip Flies around at breakfast One of them rings in your hand Where the fuck do you get off thinking I was there at the party 'cause All of my friends feed me evil reasons Why you and I should not be friends... Let's think this whole thing through, Tell me, just what the hell is a lover supposed to do? I got the wrong reaction A slap in the face from you.
(whistle break: This is such a stupid picture, Wrap me in a steak Why don't you Throw it in the panther cage and Maybe then I'll like you better (No Way))
I don't need a support system Lifting me into prop-position What they make is a separation of beauty from attitude What satisfaction is left when all you do tells everyone You're acting untrue
(whistle break: This is such a stupid picture, Light a cigarette why don't you Stub it in a carburator, Maybe then you'll sell me something (No Way))
I don't need a support system Put your hand on my heart and listen What I need is a dedication to last me all the way through Pointing the finger, I'm counting on loving you Over and above the passion I'm connected to you. |
