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 in a tree somewhere?

I am not an angry girl, but it seems like i've got everyone fooled,
Everytime i say something they find hard to hear, they chalk it up to my anger and never to their own fear,
Imagine your a girl, just finally trying to come clean,
Knowing full well they 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 gererally my generation, wouldn't be caught dead working for the man,
And generally i woudl agree with them, trouble is you have to 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?
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,
I want to be more than just a pretty girl.
