Ani Difranco - Pick Yer Nose текст песни

How come I can pick my ears

But not my nose

Who made up that rule anyway

How can you say thats the way it is

Thats just the way it goes

Why dont you decide for yourself

What you can do

And what you can say

How come I can pick my friends

But not my enemies

What is it about me that offends

What is it about me

cause you know Im only five foot two

And Im giggly wiggly

Tell me again, what did I do

Why are you scared of me

I fight with love

And I laugh with rage

Youve gotta live light enough

To see the humour

And long enough to see some change

I think shy is boring

I think depressed is too

I think pretty is nice

But Id rather see something new

All these plastic people

Got their plastic surgery

But we got a big big beautiful

We got it for free

Who you gonna be

If you cant be yourself

You cant get it from t.v.

You cant force it on

Anybody else

You know they come to clear cut

They come to strip mine

They come for some of my big butt

My big brain

Or just a little time

They wanna take me out to dinner

Think Im a bitch if I dont go

Seems like the people who actually like me

Wont allow me to say no

Your idea of a conversation

Is the third degree

But I dont really know you

And I dont really want to talk about me

cause Im not going to pretend

That I dont pick my nose

Thats just the way it is, my friends

Thats just the way it goes

This is who I am

What I do

And what I say

If you like it, let it be

If you dont, please do the same

I fight with love

I laugh with rage

You gotta live light enough to see the humour

And long enough to see some change
