Factory Reset
by Brown Word and the Big Whine

Try as I might
I never felt right
I'm the wrong girl in the wrong place
I tried to dress flash
And I tried to be brash
But no one remembers my face

It might be the truth
The emergence of youth
Is like butterflies from the cocoon
I thought I might blossom
But luck has played possum
I soon found myself all alone

All I want is a fair shake
I feel like I'm always stuck in last place
Like everyone knows the secret
Maybe if I got a factory reset
To start me over, over again
Maybe this time is a win
Help me go on to be a beautiful swan
Instead of the duckling I am

Well I went downtown
And I paid my 5 bucks
And the gal with the guitar
Said "Up the punx"

"If you're a factory reject
Then you're free as can be
No need to bow down to anybody
You can't please

You got style
And class war consciousness
Smash the patriarchy
With your totally awesome-ness

Be your own self
Forget the plot
Smash the reset button
On your inner cop"

All we want is a fair shake
So maybe no point getting caught in that race
If everyone's born to lose it
Maybe I just got a factory reset
To start it all over, over again
I'm living the best that I can
Some folks go on to be all kinds of swans
And I'll be the bird that I am
