Pick Yer Nose

how come i can pick my ears
 but not my nose
 who made up that rule anyway
 how can you say that's the way it is
 that's just the way it goes
 why don't you decide for yourself
 what you can do
 and what you can say
 how come i can pick my friends
 but not my enemies
 what is it about me that offends
 what is it about me
 'cause you know i'm only five foot two
 and i'm giggly wiggly
 tell me again, what did i do
 why are you scared of me
 i fight with love
 and i laugh with rage
 you've gotta live light enough
 to see the humor
 and long enough to see some change
 i think shy is boring
 i think depressed is too
 i think pretty is nice
 but i'd rather see something new
 all these plastic people
 got their plastic surgery
 but we got a big big beautiful
 we got it for free
 who you gonna be
 if you can't be yourself
 you can't get it from t.v.
 you can't force it on
 anybody else
 you know they come to clear cut
 they come to strip mine
 they come for some of my big butt
 my big brain
 or just a little time
 they wanna take me out to dinner
 think i'm a bitch if i don't go
 seems like the people who actually like me
 won't allow me to say no
 your idea of a conversation
 is the third degree
 but i don't really know you
 and i don't really want to talk about me
 'cause i'm not going to pretend
 that i don't pick my nose
 that's just the way it is, my friends
 that's just the way it goes
 this is who i am
 what i do
 and what i say
 if you like it, let it be
 if you don't, please do the same
 i fight with love
 i laugh with rage
 you gotta live light enough to see the humor
 and long enough to see some change
