I’m No Heroine
you think I wouldn’t have him
unless I could have him by the balls
you think I just dish it out
you don’t think I take it at all
you think I am stronger<\/a>
you think I walk taller than the rest
you think I’m usually wearing the pants
just ’cause I rarely wear a dress<\/a>
well…
when you look at me
you see my purpose,
see my pride
you think I just saddle up my anger
and ride and ride and ride<\/a>
you think I stand so firm
you think I sit so high on my trusty steed
let me tell you
I’m usually face down on the ground<\/a>
when there’s a stampede
I’m no heroine
at least, not last time I checked
I’m too easy to roll over
I’m too easy to wreck
I just write<\/a> about
what I should have done
I just sing
what I wish I could say
and hope somewhere
some woman hears my music
and it helps her through her day<\/a>
’cause some guy designed
these shoes I use to walk around
some big man’s business<\/a> turns a profit
every time I lay my money down
some guy designed the room I’m standing in
another built it with his own tools
who says I like right angles?<\/a>
these are not my laws
there are not my rules<\/a>
I’m no heroine
I still answer to the other half of the race
I don’t fool myself
like I fool you
I don’t have the power
we just don’t run this place<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
