Guns And Dolls Lyrics
Ever since I was a little girl
I was enamoured with little dolls
Ever since I was a little girl
I was consumed by little guns
Now it's all I think about
Dolls and guns, guns and dolls
Now it's all I think about
Dolls and guns, guns and dolls
I can't sleep and I can't eat
With the contemplation of these things
My psychic warned me all about
The complications that these things bring
But it's all I think about
Dolls and guns, guns and dolls
But it's all I think about
Dolls and guns, guns and dolls
Now my parents are so ashamed
And all my friends are so afraid
It vexes me to be this way
But I can't help but stay the same
Intervention didn't help
Where they sent me, I got out
Lord knows that I have tried
To change my ways to change my life
But it's all I think about
Dolls and guns, guns and dolls
But it's all I think about
Dolls and guns, guns and dolls
But it's all I think about
Dolls and guns, guns and dolls
I was enamoured with little dolls
Ever since I was a little girl
I was consumed by little guns
Dolls and guns, guns and dolls
Now it's all I think about
Dolls and guns, guns and dolls
With the contemplation of these things
My psychic warned me all about
The complications that these things bring
Dolls and guns, guns and dolls
But it's all I think about
Dolls and guns, guns and dolls
And all my friends are so afraid
It vexes me to be this way
But I can't help but stay the same
Where they sent me, I got out
Lord knows that I have tried
To change my ways to change my life
Dolls and guns, guns and dolls
But it's all I think about
Dolls and guns, guns and dolls
But it's all I think about
Dolls and guns, guns and dolls

I was thinking about this song this morning, and it occurred to me that this song could be about a woman consumed by American culture's fixation on violence (guns) and sex (dolls). There are at least two ways to read the reaction of her friends and family:
1) She's just SO into these things that it's starting to scare even other, more moderate members of this culture;
or
2) She's from a different culture that does not value these things in the same manner, if at all, thus they are terrified by her serious fixation.
It's not a perfect interpretation, but it just crossed my mind this morning.
I love this song
