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   you think i walk taller than the rest   you think i'm usually wearing the pants   just 'cause i rarely wear a dress      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   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   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 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      'cause some guy designed   these shoes i use to walk around   some big man's business 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?   these are not my laws   there are not my rules      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
