She’s a straight-A student

Head cheerleader and president of speech team

She does her homework as soon as she gets home

And all her teachers love her to death

She drinks Diet Coke like all her friends

And she laughs at the jocks’ dumb jokes

She complains about boring Mr. Smith

And she listens to everyone’s problems

But there’s something deep inside

That’s trying to get loose

She’s got a dragon deep inside

And it won’t go unnoticed much longer

It’s a dragon of ideas and opinions

She’s never voiced before

It’s a dragon of experiences

She never knew she wanted

She’s a dragon

Chained below an outer covering

Of Little Miss Perfect

She could never release her dragon

She knows that she has to keep things hidden

Her dreams and ambitions are candied

But she closes her mouth and forces a smile

Underneath it all

Her dragon thrashes to get free

One day she won’t withhold it anymore

And she’ll let herself be free

Uninhibited and free

Free
