Versuri I'm No Heroine

 
you think I wouldn't have him 
unless I could have him by the balls 
you think I just dish it out 
you don't think I take it at all 
you think I am stronger 
you think I walk taller than the rest 
you think I'm usually wearing the pants 
just 'cause I rarely wear a dress 
 
well... 
 
when you look at me 
you see my purpose, 
see my pride 
you think I just saddle up my anger 
and ride and ride and ride 
you think I stand so firm 
you think I sit so high on my trusty steed 
let me tell you 
I'm usually face down on the ground 
when there's a stampede 
 
I'm no heroine 
at least, not last time I checked 
I'm too easy to roll over 
I'm too easy to wreck 
I just write about 
what I should have done 
I just sing 
what I wish I could say 
and hope somewhere 
some woman hears my music 
and it helps her through her day 
 
'cause some guy designed 
these shoes I use to walk around 
some big man's business turns a profit 
every time I lay my money down 
some guy designed the room I'm standing in 
another built it with his own tools 
who says I like right angles? 
these are not my laws 
there are not my rules 
 
I'm no heroine 
I still answer to the other half of the race 
I don't fool myself 
like I fool you 
I don't have the power 
we just don't run this place
