Versuri Not A Pretty Girl

 
I am not a pretty girl 
that is not what I do 
I ain't no damsel in distess 
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 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 youself 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 
no I want to be more than a pretty girl
