How come I can pick my ears
  but not my nose
  who made up that rule anyway
  how can you say that's the way it is
  that's just the way it goes
  why don't 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 I'm only five foot two
  and I'm giggly wiggly
  tell me again, what did I do
  why are you scared of me
  I fight with love
  and I laugh with rage
  you've 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 I'd 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 can't be yourself
  you can't get it from t.v.
  you can't 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 I'm a bitch if I don't go
  seems like the people who actually like me
  won't allow me to say no
  your idea of a conversation
  is the third degree
  but I don't really know you
  and I don't really want to talk about me
    'cause I'm not going to pretend
  that I don't pick my nose
  that's just the way it is, my friends
  that's 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 don't, 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
