Plastic

Alanis Morissette · Alanis [1991]

You got a plastic name and a plastic heart

You can play the game or you'll never start

I'm talking to you

You got a plastic house and a plastic fence

Gotta look around or you'll lose your friends

Am I getting through?



You got a plastic girl in a plastic bed

And she's in your house made of gingerbread

And you're in there, too

Got a plastic smile on a plastic face

But it's underneath that you can't erase

But what can you do, do, do?



Say, love

(Tell me what I want, what I wanna hear!)

It's not that hard after all

When everybody does

Say, love

(Tell me what I want, what I wanna hear!)

It's gonna tear down my walls

If everybody loves.



You live in a plastic dream through a plastic card

But reality, you don't disregard

You know that it's true

You got a plastic goal in a plastic life

Gotta search your soul, gotta make it right

And here's what you do, do, do:



Say, love

(Tell me what I want, what I wanna hear!)

It's not that hard after all

When everybody does

Say, love

(Tell me what I want, what I wanna hear!)

It's gonna tear down my walls

If everybody loves.



Wake up in the mornin'

Some are not sleepin' tight

A matter you been ignorin'

Why can't you just say it?

I will not wait forever

Can't you see I'm right?

I want you to endeavor

To tell me again and again!



Say, love

(Tell me what I want, what I wanna hear!)



Say, love

(Tell me what I want, what I wanna hear!)

It's not that hard after all

When everybody does

Say, love

(Tell me what I want, what I wanna hear!)

It's gonna tear down my walls.



(Tell me what I want, what I wanna hear!)

It's not that hard after all

When everybody does

Say, love

(Tell me what I want, what I wanna hear!)

It's gonna tear down my walls.



(Tell me what I want, what I wanna hear!)
