[Verse 1] Everybody's trying to tell me what to do Everybody's trying to tell me what to do It makes me want to break some sh** and sniff some glue Everybody's trying to tell me what to do Stranger in the bar tells me to smile more I look at him and I ask, "What for? I am happily unhappy, man And no, I don't wanna shake your hand" [Chorus] I don't want to be a reflection I'm so bored with this rejection I don't want to be a reflection I don't need your direction [Verse 2] And I am not ashamed of my mental state And I am not ashamed of my body weight And I am not ashamed of my rage And I am not ashamed of my age And I am not ashamed of my s** life Although I wish it were better I am not ashamed I am no one's wife Although the idea does sound kind of nice [Chorus] I don't want to be a reflection
I'm so bored with this rejection I don't want to be a reflection I don't need your direction [Bridge] All this rejection is bad for my complexion Come on now, let's take this to the next section [Verse 3] People think they know what kind of girl I am They take one look, they think they understand And they are always surprised when they meet me Apparently I'm terribly misleading And yes, I am a feminist But that isn't why I started doing this And sometimes I am full of bitterness But I am trying to work through this [Chorus] I don't want to be a reflection I'm so bored with this rejection I don't want to be a reflection I don't need your direction I don't want to be a reflection I'm so bored with this rejection I don't want to be a reflection I don't need your d-d-d-discorrection
