NOT A PRETTY GIRL
i am not a pretty girl
that i 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 agry girl
but it seems like i've got everyone fooled
everytime i say something
they find hard 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
though they'd perfer you were dirty and smiling

and i am sorry
i am not a maiden fair
and i am not a kitten stuck up a tree somewhere

and generally my generation
would be caught dead
working for the man
and generally i agree with them
trouble is you gotta have yourself an alternate 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
i want to be more than a pretty girl
