I wish I was a riot grrrl, a riot grrrl punk Fighting for equality and smearing all the chumps Across the walls of the local clubs Fueled by feminism and hard drugs I like to talk politics I like to strike fear In all of the oppressed men that'd stand in my way I'm not your plaything I'm a motherfucking queen because who needs a king I wish I was a riot grrrl, feminazi punk Not your average ordinary day job girl I won't take your abuse Quit acting like a bitch and making up excuses Girl, hanging with Bikini Kill Female empowerment fills up the room I'm in A never ending movement All of these things make me wish I was a riot grrrl I wish I was a riot grrrl, that would be cool Taking what you know and breaking all the rules Screaming in your face till your ears get tender Teaching you a thing about race and gender I'd like to kick your ass Yeah that sounds fair Hiding my brutality behind dyed hair Men with guitars they don't know shit And if they wanna talk shit they can meet me in the pit Girl, hanging with Bratmobile If I can't hit those high notes, I'll just squeal them Into the crowd, its where I belong Undercover feminine punk rock Called riot grrrl Riot grrrl
