Song title: Ani Difranco - Not A Pretty Girl

Edit By: 216.73.216.66

I am not a pretty girl
That is not what I do
I aint no damsel in distess
And I dont need to be rescued
So put me down punk
Maybe youd prefer a maiden fair
Isnt there a kitten stuck up a tree somewhere

I am not an angry girl
But it seems like Ive 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 youre a girl
Just trying to finally come clean
Knowing full well theyd 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
Wouldnt 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?
Dont you think every kitten figures out how to get down
Whether or not you ever show up

I am not a pretty girl
I dont want to be a pretty girl
No I want to be more than a pretty girl
