Lyrics - I'm No Heroine by Difranco Ani

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
