Dolly

from Workshy? by Gramophones

/

about

A homage to the Pixies and Nirvana, this track uses gritty rock to describe Gramophones opposition to the sickening world of child beauty pageants, the people who run them and the media channels that glorify the exploitation of children.

lyrics

You point one finger
You Got three pointing back
It took a long way to get your kid to walk this track
That boat you missed
You felt so dismissed
That chance you missed
Childhood got Dissed.


Living your broken dream
Now through your only child
Tell her to pout, dance
Get her to smile

Judges adding score
On innocence that’s pure
Telling kids make careers and lifestyles
It’s so evil, cruel. It’s so vile.
Did you ever ask your daughters if it’s worthwhile?

It’s been long, so long,
Since our moral
(Watch the shows that we sell you)
It’s welcomed
Youth overrun
With child stardom
(Here’s to you Honey Boo-Boo)
Turning you into a dolly.

Dolly!
