Getting Rogue

21 11 2009

I was just minding my simple northern lights life
As an Alaskan Governor and dog sledding wife
From the front porch I wasn’t looking for trouble that I could think of
Just rocking back and forth keeping an eye on Russia

Then I was exposed into the lower states world
When someone came looking for a Vice President girl
And why me the choice, is an answer for Trivia Pursuit
Guess I was the right sex and size for their leftover woman’s suit

Getting Rogue, Getting Rogue
It’s time for me to fight back
Before my hardback is the price of a clearance paperback
Getting Rogue, Getting Rogue
I wrote it so people can see the real me
And that I’m not a Tina Fey impersonator on TV

When they introduced they loved me, both north and south
I was the perfect running mate till I opened my mouth
They thought I would be quiet, someone they could control
An Alaskan Barbie Doll wearing a $100,000 worth of clothes

We’ll I wanted to prove to them that their choice was right
As they made me study for weeks and kept me out of sight
When I emerged, I was so prepared it made me sick
Until I started talking to Katie Couric

Getting Rogue, Getting Rogue
It’s time for me to fight back
Before my hardback is the price of a clearance paperback
Getting Rogue, Getting Rogue
I wrote it so people can see the real me
And that I’m not a Tina Fey impersonator on TV

How dare they ask hard questions, like which newspapers I have read
I’ve got more important answers lodged somewhere inside my head
Don’t they know that I’m right for the ticket, Now come on
I’m a helicopter hunting governor and a full-time hockey mom

The media never gave me a chance, at each and every turn
And though we lost the election, there’s one thing that I have learned
Now’s the time to set the record straight and distribute all the blame
Before my last moments run out of my 15 minutes of fame

Getting Rogue, Getting Rogue
It’s time for me to fight back
Before my hardback is the price of a clearance paperback
Getting Rogue, Getting Rogue
I wrote it so people can see the real me
And that I’m not a Tina Fey impersonator on TV
