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
Been this way since I was a girl
In a dress with a frilly bow
Revolution in the institution
Revolution in the institution
Play with Barbie they yell, play with Barbie
But I want a GI Joe
Revolution in the institution
Revolution in the institution
Learn to cook, learn to clean, learn to breed
Skills I do not necessarily need, no!
Revolution in the institution
Revolution in the institution
If I'm headed to the battle zone
I don't wanna, I don't wanna go alone
See the crown, take it down
Hey!
I'm supposed to dress the way they want me to dress
But I got other dresses in mind, so
Revolution in the institution
Revolution in the institution
Why do we have to fit into roles
That some man we don't know defined? No
Revolution in the institution
Revolution in the institution
Sugar and spice and everything nice
Comes at a hefty, hefty price
And today they'll pay
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 headed to the battle zone
I don't wanna, I don't wanna go alone
Take a stand, hold my hand
Revolution in the institution
Revolution in the institution
Revolution in the institution
Revolution in the institution
Hey!
S-T-O-P
You won't touch my family
H-A-T-E
Will not take my love from me
S-T-O-P (revolution in the institution)
You won't touch my family (revolution in the institution)
H-A-T-E (revolution in the institution)
Will not take my love from me (revolution in the institution)
Hate nation is coming down
Is coming down tonight
Hate nation is coming down
We're putting up a fight
Soon it'll be everything
That we've been dreaming of
Hate nation will be erased
And be replaced with love
Love
Love
Revolution in the institution
Hey!
