Someone questioned my love of Ani Difranco - perhaps more than any other song, I think this one kind of explain where that comes from. Talk about singing to my narrative, this is as perfect as it gets. I am not a pretty girl, that is not what I do I aint no damsel in distress and I dont need to be rescued So, so put me down, punk, wouldnt you 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 but 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 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 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 really want to be a pretty girl I want to be more than a pretty girl Read more: Ani Difranco - Not A Pretty Girl Lyrics | MetroLyrics
