Pick Yer Nose Lyrics by Ani DiFranco

Pick Yer Nose Lyrics

    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
