Tear Off Your Own Head (It's A Doll Revolution)
One must tear off one's own head
Head!
Who dries your eyes when you cry real tears?
Who knows or cares what imitation is?
Only you do
You can paint his nails, make him wear high heels
Why waste time altering the hemline?
Or do you
Tear off your own head?
Tear off your own head
It's a doll revolution
You can bat your lashes, you can cut your strings
Pull out his hair with your moveable fingers
It looks so real
But one won't do, so collect the set
Dress him in pink ribbons, put him in a kitchenette
How does this feel?
Tear off your own head
Tear off your own head
It's a doll revolution
What's that sound? It'll turn you around
It's a doll revolution
They're taking it over and they're tearing it down
It's a doll revolution
(Revolution)
You can pull and pinch him 'till he cries and squeals
You can twist his body 'till he faces backwards
Plastic features
Could make somebody a pretty little wife
But don't let anybody tell you how to live your life
Broken pieces
Tear off your own head
Tear off your own head
It's a doll revolution
Tear off your own head
Tear off your own head
It's a doll revolution
What's that sound? It'll turn you around
It's a doll revolution
They're taking it over and they're tearing it down
It's a doll revolution
It's a doll revolution
Revolution (Revolution)
Tear off your own head
Tear off your own head (Revolution)
Tear off your own head
Tear off your own head
Head!
Who dries your eyes when you cry real tears?
Who knows or cares what imitation is?
Only you do
You can paint his nails, make him wear high heels
Why waste time altering the hemline?
Or do you
Tear off your own head?
Tear off your own head
It's a doll revolution
You can bat your lashes, you can cut your strings
Pull out his hair with your moveable fingers
It looks so real
But one won't do, so collect the set
Dress him in pink ribbons, put him in a kitchenette
How does this feel?
Tear off your own head
Tear off your own head
It's a doll revolution
What's that sound? It'll turn you around
It's a doll revolution
They're taking it over and they're tearing it down
It's a doll revolution
(Revolution)
You can pull and pinch him 'till he cries and squeals
You can twist his body 'till he faces backwards
Plastic features
Could make somebody a pretty little wife
But don't let anybody tell you how to live your life
Broken pieces
Tear off your own head
Tear off your own head
It's a doll revolution
Tear off your own head
Tear off your own head
It's a doll revolution
What's that sound? It'll turn you around
It's a doll revolution
They're taking it over and they're tearing it down
It's a doll revolution
It's a doll revolution
Revolution (Revolution)
Tear off your own head
Tear off your own head (Revolution)
Tear off your own head
Tear off your own head
