Sleater-Kinney - #1 Must Have lyrics

rate me

Bearer of the flag from the beginning<br />

Now who would have believed this riot grrrl's a cynic<br />

But they took our ideas to their marketing stars<br />

And now i'm spending all my days at girlpower.com<br />

Trying to buy back a little piece of me<br />

(Everywhere you go they say "Hello,<br />

Weren't you the one that sold your soul?"<br />

Every time you leave the say "Oh no,<br />

Why did you ever let us go?")<br />

<br />

And i think that I sometimes might have wished<br />

For something more than to be a size six<br />

But now my inspiration rests<br />

In-between my beauty magazines and my <br />

Credit card bills<br />

<br />

I've been crawling up so long on your<br />

Stairway to heaven<br />

And now i no longer believe that i wanna get in<br />

And will there always be concerts where<br />

Women are raped<br />

Watch me make up my mind instead<br />

Of my face<br />

<br />

The number one must have is<br />

That we are safe<br />

(Everywhere you go teenage<br />

Is the rage<br />

Inside your pants<br />

And on the front page<br />

EVerywhere you go it's die or be born<br />

If you can't decide then<br />

It's your own war)<br />

<br />

No more<br />

And for the ladies out there i wish<br />

We could write more than the next<br />

Marketing bid<br />

Culture is what we make it<br />

Yes it is<br />

Now is the time<br />

To invent
