Not a Pretty Girl

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 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
 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
 But 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 really want to be a pretty girl
 No, I want to be more than a pretty girl.
