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
