Ani DiFranco ~ Not A Pretty Girl
| I am not a pretty girl That is not what I do I ain't no damsel in distress And I don't need to be rescued So put me down, punk Maybe you'd prefer a maiden fair Isn't there a kitten stuck up a tree somewhere? I am not an angry girl But it seems like I've got everyone fooled Every time I say something they find heard to hear They chalk it up to my anger And never to their own fear And imagine you're a girl Just trying to finally come clean Knowing full well they'd prefer you were dirty And smiling And I am sorry I am not a maiden fair I am not a kitten stuck up a tree somewhere And generally my generation Wouldn't be caught dead working for the man And generally I agree with them Trouble is you've gotta have yourself an alternative plan And I have earned my disillusionment I have been working all of my life And I am a patriot I have been fighting the good fight And what if there are no damsels in distress? What if I knew that, and I called your bluff? Don't you think every kitten figures out how to get down Whether or not you ever show up? I am not a pretty girl I don't want to be a pretty girl No, I want to be more than a pretty girl more free lyrics |
