CITY GRRRL

I WISH I'D DIE MY HAIR PINK.
PUT ON BLACK LIPSTICK
AND NO ONE WOULD GIVE A SHIT.
SHORT SHORTS, SHORT SKIRTS
FLOWER TOPS, DENIM SHIRTS...
IN THE BIG CITY, NOTIHING HURTS.

WHEN I WAS A LITTLE GIRL I WANTED
TO BE A CITIZEN OF THE WORLD
BEING BUSY WITH MY JOB AND MY GAY FRIENDS...
LAUGHIN' AND
DRINKIN' WITH MY ONE NIGHT STANDS!

WHY ARE YOU LOOKING AS IF I WAS "ABNORMAL"?
OH YES YOU'RE RIGHT
I'VE NEVER TRIED TO BE NORMAL
I JUST WANNA WALK AROUND FREE ON MY OWN PACE
I PAY MY BILLS WITH MONEY I MAKE!

WHEN I WAS 13 MY BROTHER MOVED TO NEW YORK CITY
I DREAMT SO MUCH ABOUT BEING THERE...
AND LIVE THE LIFE
I DIDN'T HAVE YET.

CODY:"HEY CITY GRRRL...YEAH,YEAH YOU CITY GRRRL
HOT ON THE HEELS OF HOW THIS TIDE WILL TURN
YOU LIVE YOUR LIFE TO ERASE THE LINES OF
EVERY LESSON LEARNED
SO PUT YOUR LIPSTICK ON ALL OVER YOUR TEETH
CUZ YOU'RE A NATURAL DISASTER
NO ONE'S GONNA CHEAT
YOU SWEAR? YEAH, I SWEAR.
JUST GET INTO THE GROOVEY
DON'T LIVE YOUR LIFE GRRL...
UNLESS IT'S JUST LIKE A MOVIE.

WHEN I WAS 16 I FINALLY MOVED TO THE BIG CITY!
MY DREAMS WERE SCREAMING AT MY FACE...
"HEADS UP GIRL YOU CAN RULE THIS PLACE!!!"
