   2x
   I am not a pretty girl
   that is not what I do
   I ain't no damsel in  distess
   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
  and 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
  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
