not a pretty girli 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 wouldn't you 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 hard to hear they chalk it up to my anger never to their own fear imagine you're a girl just trying to finally come clean knowing full well they'd prefer you were dirty and smiling i'm sorry but i am not a maiden fair and i am not a kitten stuck up a tree somewhere generally my generation wouldn't be caught dead working for the man and generally i agree with them trouble is you got to have yourself an alternate plan i have earned my disillusionment i have been working all of my life 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 really want to be a pretty girl i want to be more than a pretty girl © 1995 ani difranco / righteous babe music |
