Trouble is you gotta have yourself an alternate plan
And I am sorry but I am not a maiden fair
Working for the man and generally I agree with them
And imagine you're a girl just trying to finally come clean
Whether or not you ever show up?
Knowing full well they'd prefer you were dirty and smiling
And I have earned my disillusionment, I have been working all of my life
I am not an angry girl but it seems like I've got everyone fooled
And what if there are no damsels in distress
So, so put me down, punk, wouldn't you prefer a maiden fair?
They chalk it up to my anger and never to their own fear
I don't really want to be a pretty girl
And generally my generation wouldn't be caught dead
And I am not a kitten stuck up a tree somewhere
What if I knew that and I called your bluff
And I am a patriot, I have been fighting the good fight
Every time I say something they find hard to hear
I am not a pretty girl
Isn't there a kitten stuck up a tree somewhere?
Don't you think every kitten figures out how to get down
