#1 Must Have

Song is from All Hands on the Bad One CD/LP, which is available at Kill Rock Stars.
Official lyrics come with the album; I have modified them so that the lyrics posted here
reflect what I actually hear the band singing in the song.
Because that took me lots of time and effort, please do let me know
if you would like to use the lyrics I have posted here on your site.
Or even just reference my site on yours. Thanks!

bearer of the flag from the beginning
now who would have believed this riot grrrl's a cynic
but they took our ideas to their marketing stars
(everywhere you go they say "Hello")
and now I'm spending all my days at girlpower.com
("weren't you the one that sold your soul?"
trying to buy back
(every time you leave the say "Oh no")
a little piece of me
("weren't you the one that 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
in-between 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 wanna get in

and will there always be concerts where women are raped
(everywhere you go teenage is the rage)
watch me make up my mind instead of my face
(inside your pants and on the front page)
the number one must have
(everywhere you go it's die or be born)
is that we are safe
(if you can't decide then it's your own war)

and I think that I sometimes must have wished
for something more than to be a size six
but now my inspiration rests
in-between my beauty magazines and
my credit card bills

no more. no more. no more...

and for 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 (3x)
to invent
invent (5x)
