Lyrics[edit]
Do you or don't you want this to be your song? It doesn't take a rebel to sing along. This art is weak in its pretty, pretty frame and I am a monkey with a misspelled name "I'll put down your disco and take you heart away" "I'll put down your disco and take your heart away" I'll be born again I'm someone else I'm someone new I'm someone stupid just like you I'm someone else I'm someone new I'm someone stupid just like you do you or don't you want to take this hit? Does it make you feel like you're a part of "it." "I'll put down your disco and take you heart away" "I'll put down your disco and take your heart away" I am born again I'm someone else I'm someone new I'm someone stupid just like you I'm someone else I'm someone new I'm someone stupid just like you the valley of the dolls is the valley of the dead the valley of the dolls is the valley of the dead I'm someone else I'm someone new I'm someone stupid just like you I'm someone else I'm someone new I'm someone stupid just like you I'll be born again...
