She may be influential

She might state her case like a pro

She might be a real great writer

But I won't follow wherever she goes



Cause she tried to steal the one true jewel in Orson Welles' crown

But all her biting wit and accusations didn't bring him down



She never floats as many ships as she sinks

And I don't care what Pauline Kael thinks

She never floats as many ships as she sinks

And I don't care what Pauline Kael thinks



Maybe it's cause she's not beautiful

Maybe it's cause she's just too damn smart

Maybe it's cause she believe it's the truth

Or maybe it's cause she likes breaking hearts



Well it probably doesn't matter cause I'll read her anyway

But someday soon I'll throw that book down and just walk away



She never floats as many ships as she sinks

And I wish I didn't care what Pauline Kael thinks

No I wish I didn't care what Pauline Kael thinks

No I wish I didn't care what Pauline Kael thinks
