Revolution Song

Lyrics

[JUDITH] I'm supposed to act the way they want me to act But I don't wanna act that way, so Revolution in the institution Won't be told whose hand I can hold Or which words I'm allowed to say, no! Revolution in the institution If I'm heading to the battle zone I don't wanna I don't wanna go alone Take a stand Hold my hand [DOROTHY] Been this way since I was a girl In a dress with a frilly bow [DOROTHY, YA-YA, JUDITH, KITTY, RAT, SUSANNAH] Revolution in the institution Revolution in the institution [DOROTHY] "Play with Barbie," they yelled, "play with Barbie!" But I wanted G.I. Joe [DOROTHY, YA-YA, JUDITH, KITTY, RAT, SUSANNAH] Revolution in the institution Revolution in the institution [RAT] Learn to cook, learn to clean, learn to breed Skills I do not necessarily need, no! [DOROTHY, YA-YA, JUDITH, KITTY, RAT, SUSANNAH] Revolution in the institution Revolution in the institution [SUSANNAH] If I'm heading to the battle zone I don't wanna I don't wanna go alone [DOROTHY, YA-YA, JUDITH, KITTY, RAT, SUSANNAH] See the crown Take it down Hey! [KITTY] I'm supposed to dress the way they want me to dress But I got other dresses in mind, so [DOROTHY, YA-YA, JUDITH, KITTY, RAT, SUSANNAH] Revolution in the institution Revolution in the institution [KITTY] Why do we have to fit into roles That some man we don't know defined No [DOROTHY, YA-YA, JUDITH, KITTY, RAT, SUSANNAH] Revolution in the institution Revolution in the institution [DOROTHY & YA-YA] Sugar and spice and everything nice Comes at a hefty, hefty price [DOROTHY, YA-YA, JUDITH, KITTY, RAT, SUSANNAH] And today, they'll all pay Hey! Hey! (muttering, and) Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! I'm supposed to act the way they want me to act But I don't wanna act that way, so Revolution in the institution Revolution in the institution Won't be told whose hand I can hold Or which words I'm allowed to say, no! Revolution in the institution Revolution in the institution If I'm heading to the battle zone I don't wanna I don't wanna go alone Take a stand Hold my hand Revolution in the institution Evolution in the institution Revolution in the institution Evolution in the institution [SUSANNAH] S-T-O-P You won't touch my family H-A-T-E Will not take my love from me [SUSANNAH, JUDITH, KITTY, RAT, DOROTHY, YA-YA] S-T-O-P / Revolution in the institution You won't touch my family / Evolution in the institution H-A-T-E / Revolution in the institution Whoa / Evolution in the institution [DOROTHY, YA-YA, JUDITH, KITTY, RAT, SUSANNAH] Hate nation is coming down It's coming down tonight Hate nation is coming down We're putting up a fight Soon it'll be everything That we been dreaming of Hate nation will be erased And be replaced with Love Love Love Revolution in the institution Hey!
