Sleater Kinney - #1 Must Have

bearer of the flag from the beginning



now who would have believed

that this riot grrrl's a cynic

but they took our ideals to their marketing stars

and now i'm spending all my days at girlpower.com

trying to buy back a little peice of me

(everywhere i go they say hello

weren't you the one who sold your soul?

every time you leave they say

"Oh no, why did you ever let us go?")



and i think that i sometimes might have wished

for something more than to be a size six

but now my inspiration rests

inbetween my beauty magazines

and my credit card bills



I've been crawling up so long

on your stairway to heaven

and now i no longer believe

that i want to get in

and will there always be concerts

where women are raped?

watch me make up my mind instead of my face

the number one must have is that we are safe



(Everywhere you go teenage is the rage

inside your pants and on the front page

everywhere you go it's die or be born

if you can't decide then it's your own war)



no more

no more



and for all the ladies out there i wish

we could write more than the next marketing bid

culture is what we make it, yes it is

now is the time, now is the time to invent

invent invent
