I'm No Heroine

Lyrics

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
