Im No Heroine - Lyrics by Difranco Ani


Lyrics
you think I wouldn't have himunless I could have him by the ballsyou think I just dish it outyou don't think I take it at allyou think I am strongeryou think I walk taller than the restyou think I'm usually wearing the pantsjust 'cause I rarely wear a dresswell...when you look at meyou see my purpose,see my prideyou think I just saddle up my angerand ride and ride and rideyou think I stand so firmyou think I sit so high on my trusty steedlet me tell you
I'm usually face down on the groundwhen there's a stampede
I'm no heroineat least, not last time I checked
I'm too easy to roll over
I'm too easy to wreck
I just write aboutwhat I should have done
I just singwhat I wish I could sayand hope somewheresome woman hears my musicand it helps her through her day'cause some guy designedthese shoes I use to walk aroundsome big man's business turns a profitevery time I lay my money downsome guy designed the room I'm standing inanother built it with his own toolswho says I like right angles?these are not my lawsthere are not my rules
I'm no heroine
I still answer to the other half of the race
I don't fool myselflike I fool you
I don't have the powerwe just don't run this place
