Not a pretty girl

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 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.
I am not a pretty girl, I don't want to be a pretty girl, no I want to be more than a pretty girl
