I`m No Heroine — текст песни (Ani Difranco)

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
