From Ani DiFranco, "Not a Pretty Girl"

[shadesong]

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
maybe you'd 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

I like the Ani DeFranco song, (Fuck You) Untouchable Face. I like to play it in the car and scream out the "fuck you" part.
