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

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
