    A5      
Who dries your eyes when you cry real tears?
                           G5         A5  Riff  
Who knows or cares what an imitation is?

Only you do

You can paint his nails

Make him wear high heels
               G5            A5    Riff  
Why waste time altering the hemline?

Or do you?
                  E5
Tear off your own head
              A5
Tear off your own head
       D5        B5 A5       
It's a doll revolution

You can bat your lashes

You can cut your strings

You can pull his hair with your moveable fingers

It looks so real

If one won't do it, 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


D5
What's that sound?
        A5
It will turn you around
       E5
It's a doll revolution
        D5
They're taking over
            A5
And they're tearing it down
       E5         A5 
It's a doll revolution 

You can pull and pinch him

'Till he cries and squeals

You can twist his body 'til it faces backwards

Those plastic features

You could make somebody a precious 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 (riff until the end)

Tear off your own head

Revolution
