I'm the color me happy girl, Miss live and let live. And when they're out for blood, I always give.

I sing sometimes for the war that I fight, 'Cause every tool is a weapon if you hold it right.

Well, it's really gratifying to me to have a stage and some bright lights and a microphone. They're tools and opportunities, and to be able to just pull somebody up on stage with me and point at them is a great feeling.

I love my country, By which I mean, I am indebted joyfully, To all the people throughout its history, Who have fought the government to make right, Where so many cunning sons and daughters, Our foremothers and forefathers, Came singing through slaughter, Came through hell and high water, So that we could stand here, And behold breathlessly the sight, How a raging river of tears, Cut a grand canyon of light... Why can't all decent men and women, Call themselves feminists? Out of respect, For those who fought for this...

Music has as many roles as people make it.

When everything else seems unclear, at least I'll know I do it for the joy it brings.

Take away our play stations and we are a third world nation.
