1 Must Have - Lyrics by Sleater Kinney


Lyrics

bearer of the flag from the beginning

now who would have believed
that this riot grrrl's a cynic
but they took our ideals to their marketing stars
and now i'm spending all my days at girlpower.com
trying to buy back a little peice of me
(everywhere i go they say hello
weren't you the one who sold your soul?
every time you leave they say
"Oh no, why did you ever let us go?")

and i think that i sometimes might have wished
for something more than to be a size six
but now my inspiration rests
inbetween my beauty magazines
and my credit card bills

I've been crawling up so long
on your stairway to heaven
and now i no longer believe
that i want to get in
and will there always be concerts
where women are raped?
watch me make up my mind instead of my face
the number one must have is that we are safe

(Everywhere you go teenage is the rage
inside your pants and on the front page
everywhere you go it's die or be born
if you can't decide then it's your own war)

no more
no more

and for all the ladies out there i wish
we could write more than the next marketing bid
culture is what we make it, yes it is
now is the time, now is the time to invent
invent invent
