To be honest, I really don't think she does. I think she puts out songs like So What, to get the rest of her more subdued work the attention it deserves. Trust me, as a fan of her work for a very long time, I can vouch that her albums hold a lot more than the typical 'lets go kick ass and be hard and angry' P!nk that springs to mind immediately.

I think she actually has managed to do the one thing that so many of today's artist's fail in their work - the have variety in their lyrics. As was mentioned in another thread, so many of Eminem's work refers to his past marriage and relationship with his mother and daughter. Another example being Christina Aguilera, who, like the other two is a great lyricist, but so much of her work is about her past in domestic violence with her mother or about female empowerment. That's just two of her contemporaries I chose at radnom btw. Obviously all of the aforementioned issues are important but I think P!nk has managed to write equally as evocative lyrics without getting stuck in a rut.
