With all their pretty little faces

And all their pretty little lies

Let's all fake a smile

And parade them down the street

Remember all our manners

All our "please"s and "thank you"s

Don't forget to greet

Every person you meet

Be nice

Whether you want to or not

Give compliments

Whether you mean them or not

We're all afraid to tell

What's on our minds

The truth always hurts

So why not more pretty little lies?

They'll flush our worries

And drown our sorrows

Bury our originality

Crush our individuality

But we don't care

We fake it for our benefit

We just want to fit in

And be accepted

The world has stopped in time

Everything is slow motion black and white

Hurry hurry!

We've got to paint ourselves grey

We don't want to have color

We don't want to stand out

We just want

To blend in with the crowd

Everything is fucked up

But we won't admit it

We glue a smile onto our face

Pretend everything is okay

Act like someone we aren't

We're all just dolls

With our glass eyes and plastic faces

We know how to play it cool

We don't care what it takes

Or how many lies we need to tell

But as long as we get our way

Nothing matters

We just want to be loved

Just want to fit in

Don't want to be the outcast

Don't want to be alone

So tell me

Isn't it wonderful to be a doll?
