Doll Lyrics - Singles - Terry Allen

From the east side of Chicago 

To the down side of L.A. 

There's no place that he goes 

We don't bow down to him and pray 

Yeah we follow him to the slaughter 

We go through the fire and ash 

Cause he's the doll inside our dollars 

Our Lord and Savior Jesus Cash 

Chorus: 

AH WE BLOW HIM UP 

INFLATED 

AND WE LET HIM DOWN 

DEPRESSED 

WE PLAY WITH HIM 

FOREVER 

HE'S OUR DOLL 

AND WE LOVE HIM BEST 

From the stress of New York City 

To the death cults of D.C. 

There's nothing quite so pretty 

As what he offers to you and me 

So we kneel down at the altar 

Of the Church of the Bought and Sold 

And pray the doll he does not falter 

And makes us rich before we get old 

Chorus repeats 

From the side streets of New Orleans 

To the dead beats by the bay 

The chat rooms are all auzzin 

With our wishes for the day 

And the money changers come howlin 

Through the temple of our needs 

While the doll is out there prowlin 

And holds the notes on all our dreams 

chorus repeats
