Bearer of the flag from the beginning
|
Now who would have believed this riot grrrl's a cynic
|
But they took our ideas to their marketing stars
|
and now i'm spending all my days at girlpower.com
|
Trying to buy back a little piece of me
|
(Everywhere you go they say "Hello,
|
weren't you the one that sold your soul?"
|
Every time you leave the 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
|
in-between 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 wanna 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
|
and for 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
|
to invent
|
