Lyrics
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 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 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 And 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 gotta have yourself An alternate plan 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 really want to be a pretty girl I want to be more than a pretty girl
