Pick Yer Nose - Lyrics by Difranco Ani


Lyrics
How come I can pick my earsbut not my nosewho made up that rule anywayhow can you say that's the way it isthat's just the way it goeswhy don't you decide for yourselfwhat you can doand what you can sayhow come I can pick my friendsbut not my enemieswhat is it about me that offendswhat is it about me'cause you know I'm only five foot twoand I'm giggly wigglytell me again, what did I dowhy are you scared of me
I fight with loveand I laugh with rageyou've gotta live light enoughto see the humourand long enough to see some change
I think shy is boring
I think depressed is too
I think pretty is nicebut I'd rather see something newall these plastic peoplegot their plastic surgerybut we got a big big beautifulwe got it for freewho you gonna beif you can't be yourselfyou can't get it from t.v.you can't force it onanybody elseyou know they come to clear cutthey come to strip minethey come for some of my big buttmy big brainor just a little timethey wanna take me out to dinnerthink I'm a bitch if I don't goseems like the people who actually like mewon't allow me to say noyour idea of a conversationis the third degreebut I don't really know youand I don't really want to talk about me'cause I'm not going to pretendthat I don't pick my nosethat's just the way it is, my friendsthat's just the way it goesthis is who I amwhat I doand what I sayif you like it, let it beif you don't, please do the same
I fight with love
I laugh with rageyou gotta live light enough to see the humourand long enough to see some change
