Ani DiFranco (born Angela Maria DiFranco; September 23, 1970) is an American singer, multi-instrumentalist, poet, songwriter, feminist icon and businesswoman from New York state.
Although much of DiFranco's material is autobiographical, it is often also strongly political. Many of her songs are concerned with contemporary social issues such as racism, sexism, sexual abuse, homophobia, reproductive rights, poverty, and war. DiFranco's guitar playing is often characterized by a signature staccato style

F#m I am not a pretty girl ADE that is not what I do F#mA I ain't no damsel in distess DE and I don't need to be rescued F#mA so put me down punk DE wouldn't you prefer a maiden fair
BD isn't there a kitten stuck up a tree somewhere
I am not an angry girl but it seems like I've got everyone fooled every time I say something they find hard to hear they chalk it up to my anger and never to their own fear and imagine you're a girl just trying to finally come clean knowing full well they'd prefer you were dirty and smiling
and I am sorry I am not a maiden fair and I am not a kitten stuck up a tree somewhere
solo: F#mADE (2x)
and generally my generation wouldn't be caught dead working for the man and generally I agree with them trouble is you gotta have youself an alternate plan and I have earned my disillusionment I have been working all of my life and I am a patriot I have been fighting the good fight and what if there are no damsels in distress what if I knew that and I called your bluff? don't you think every kitten figures out how to get down whether or not you ever show up
I am not a pretty girl I don't want to be a pretty girl no I want to be more than a pretty girl
