Wouldn't it be nice to be a heroine,

Cool and slinky with an appropriate smile?

Honey, i take sugar, two.

While he's ranting an' raving,

Could you pass that cream?

I was looking to have a cupa tea.

Instead i freeze.



Seeing his next move, is it grabbing my hair?

Or bushing my tush till there's no scream left?

Wouldn't it be nice to be a heroine?

Wouldnit-wouldnit?

Wouldnit-wouldnit?

Wouldnit-wouldnit?

Wouldnit?



Mm -



Wouldn't it be nice to be a hero,

Standing fast and easy with an appropriate grin?

Brother, not that way, they'll take you away.

Mm, give me your gun,

It's no use to anyone.

Instead i freeze.



Seeing if i shut up and stay real still,

Maybe he won't kill, at least not me.

Wouldn't it be nice to be a hero?

Wouldnit-wouldnit?

Wouldnit-wouldnit?

Wouldnit-wouldnit?

Wouldnit?



Mm -



Wouldn't it be nice to be a star,

Shinin' and sparklin', looking down the whole and plenty?

Being looked up with a telescope

While my sister's busy cutting the rope.

Daddy, you can't touch me,

Mommy, you can't hate me,

I'm a star, get it?

Instead i froze.



And i let them, i let them,

I let them pick my brain,

Twist my arm,

Cut my throat

And wish me dead.

But i'm still thinking,

Wouldn't it be nice to be a star?

Wouldnit-wouldnit?

Wouldnit-wouldnit?

Wouldnit-wouldnit?

Wouldnit?
