Lyrics:

I am not a pretty girlbr /That is not what I dobr /I ain't no damsel in distessbr /And I don't need to be rescuedbr /So put me down punkbr /Maybe you'd prefer a maiden fairbr /Isn't there a kitten stuck up a tree somewherebr /br /I am not an angry girlbr /But it seems like I've got everyone fooledbr /Every time I say something they find hard to hearbr /They chalk it up to my angerbr /And never to their own fearbr /And imagine you're a girlbr /Just trying to finally come cleanbr /Knowing full well they'd prefer youbr /Were dirty and smilingbr /br /And I am sorrybr /I am not a maiden fairbr /And I am not a kitten stuck up a tree somewherebr /br /And generally my generationbr /Wouldn't be caught dead working for the manbr /And generally I agree with thembr /Trouble is you gotta have youself an alternate planbr /And I have earned my disillusionmentbr /I have been working all of my lifebr /And I am a patriotbr /I have been fighting the good fightbr /And what if there are no damsels in distressbr /What if I knew that and I called your bluff? br /Don't you think every kitten figures out how to get downbr /Whether or not you ever show upbr /br /I am not a pretty girlbr /I don't want to be a pretty girlbr /No I want to be more than a pretty girl
