You stay the night at his house
With no ride to work
And I’m the one who tells you
He’s another jerk
But you’re the one who can succeed
You’ve only got to prove your need
And you do

I have to break before I bend
Ain’t So Easy uses brilliantly observant, fucked-up words to compress the breadth of a man’s abuse of a woman —the violence, the stunted demi-apologies, the minimization, the conflation of love and possession, and the steadily escalating threats— into just under five minutes of song, pairing those darkly persuading, persuasive lyrics with an almost disturbingly upbeat ’80s folk-pop sound.… Read the rest ““Ain’t So Easy” – David & David”

Have you seen Jack White? I love that pasty motherfucker’s work, but his RBF looks like Faye Dunaway eyeballing a wire hanger.
