"Everyman's Daughter" by Over the Rhine
from "Good Dog Bad Dog"
words by Linford Detweiler and Karen Bergquist
music by Karen Bergquist
transcription by Tara Kennedy (nothingnatural@mail.utexas.edu)
Look inside for the elusive goldmine. Broken glass and a little
cheap wine is all that I can find. And bundles of
contradictions, my heart full of loose connections, hands across
my eyes. I cannot disguise I'm everyman's daughter.
Everyman's daughter.
It's always the same old question. Who am I and whose invention?
This armour's full of dust. There's so much of us in each
other. If I hate you you're my best reminder of all I wish I was.
I hate you just because I'm everyman's daughter. Everyman's
daughter. Everyman's daughter. Everyman's daughter.
Who do you think that I am? It don't matter as long
as we can understand. I am hurting someone just like,
just like you.
Insulting the wounds of others, my sisters, my brothers, my
vision's way too good. I carry the inward aching. Like you,
I too am naked. I don't look that good. This is flesh and
blood I'm everyman's daughter. Everyman's daughter.
Look at all [c] the blood we've spilt. I can't deal with
all this fundamental guilt. I am hurting someone
just like, just like you.
