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
