I'm not between you and your ambition
And God help you if you are an ugly girl
And I'm beyond your peripheral vision
While you are just flying past
And I have done well by their names
I'm not saying that I'm a saint
And eat most of the words you just said
And hid in the dark of their windows
I just don't want to live that way
I am thirty-two flavors and then some

'Cause everyone harbors a secret hatred
A thousand eyes will smolder with jealousy
I'm not between you and your ambition
Is more than I can explain
Both my parents taught me about good will
I am a poster girl with no poster
'Til I'd passed and left them alone
Songwriter: Ani Difranco
Just the kindness I've lavished on strangers
And I would like to state for the record
So you might wanna turn your head
'Cause someday you might find you're starving
I never tried to give my life meaning
But I will always say
No, I will never be a saint, oh
And I'm beyond your peripheral vision
And eating all of the words you said
By demeaning you
Just so I would think they were not home
So you might wanna turn your head
For the prettiest girl in the room
'Cause too pretty is also your doom
'Cause someday you're going to get hungry
Still there's many who've turned out their porch lights
And God help you if you are a phoenix
Squint your eyes and look closer
Squint your eyes and look closer
And you dare to rise up from the ash
I am a poster girl with no poster
I did everything that I could do
I am thirty-two flavors and then some
